I recently gave a tech talk internally about Terraform. I wanted to show how quickly a web service can get complicated by showing the SVG generated from `terraform graph` output.

Wonder if it'd be more achievable if the product natively understood TF modules? So you tend not to describe or view direct AWS resources, but slightly higher level concepts your eng team uses - then you only see the actual resources if you "zoom in" to a lower level scope

Terraform modules will probably be available during Q1/2021. We started by releasing the market place which is the first step towards TF modules.

there are issues with `terraform graph` that taint the output a little with unnecessary information: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/14511

People at hashicorp are aware of it but it doesn't seem to be a priority getting the output to look nicer right now

Big fan of "talk to sales" or "contact us" pricing pages.

What would you suggest instead :) ?

Be transparent and just say: $8000/year for enterpise license for 8 seats. Additional seats at $700/year/seat.

I feel kind of frustration about the pricing, what price makes sense to you?

While: https://www.brainboard.co/static/js/main.af9695a1.chunk.js is loading the page is blank

This file is large (15.7MB) and took 1.2 minutes to load

So your website looks broken for 1.2 minutes for me.

I doubt anyone else but a web-dev has the patience to wait for it.

I don't think he's bothered too much about the pricing model itself merely the way it's presented.

Gephi is good for drawing large graphs. Takes a minute to get used to the UI.
