Terraform Module Visualizer
Parse Terraform snippets into modules, resources, and dependency views.
What modules, providers, and resources are actually present in this Terraform slice?
How to use it
- Set the assumptions on the left until they match the workload you are reviewing.
- Validate the structured result, metrics, and recommendations before exporting.
- Copy or export the artifact directly into the design doc, ticket, runbook, or review packet.
What you leave with
- A Mermaid topology of modules, providers, and resources.
- Counts for modules, resources, data sources, and providers.
- A resource inventory you can paste into docs or pull-request reviews.
Tool inputs
Terraform Module Visualizer
Turn Terraform snippets into a quick dependency view for modules, providers, and resources.
Paste one or more .tf files.
Shortcut keys: Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + C copies the current output, and Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + S saves a revision snapshot.
Result
Terraform module map
Detected 1 modules, 1 resources, and 0 data sources.
Modules
1
Declared Terraform modules in the supplied source.
Resources
1
Managed resources detected across the snippet.
Providers
1
Provider blocks the topology depends on.
Data sources
0
Read-only dependencies that still affect module understanding.
Filter line-level matches before you export or share the result.
Operator takeaways
- The summary makes module sprawl and provider coupling visible before the team opens a full Terraform graph or cloud console.
- Resource and data-source counts help reviewers estimate how broad the change surface is in a pull request or onboarding review.
Recommended next steps
- Use the inventory in code reviews to show what modules and resources are actually in scope for the change.
- Move into Diagram Studio or Architecture Canvas when the Terraform slice needs a broader platform context.
FAQ
Questions teams ask before they adopt this workflow.
When should teams use Terraform Module Visualizer?
This tool is most useful when the team needs a fast, reviewable answer before moving into a larger design, documentation, or governance workflow.
Who usually benefits most from Terraform Module Visualizer?
Architects, platform teams, and technical leads get the most value because they need a clear artifact they can copy into reviews, runbooks, tickets, and stakeholder updates.
How does Terraform Module Visualizer connect back to Architecto?
The free surface reduces friction. Once the team needs richer diagrams, review automation, or documentation outputs, the matching Architecto feature takes over without changing the workflow language.
