Manual topology:
• Goes out of sync
• Hard to maintain
• Static
Generated from data:
• Reproducible
• Version controlled
• Always aligned
Exploring this idea in OSS.

We already treat infrastructure as code.
Why are topology still drawn by hand?
I’m experimenting with generating topology directly from source-of-truth data.
No manual updates.
No diagram drift.

Even with NetBox as a source of truth, topology diagrams still drift.
So I’m experimenting with generating topology directly from NetBox data.
No manual drawing.
No stale diagrams.
Still early, but interesting direction.
