CloudForge vs Cloudcraft
Beautiful AWS/Azure diagrams and cost
Cloudcraft (by Datadog) produces polished isometric diagrams from live AWS and Azure accounts, with strong cost views. It is a visualization and documentation tool first — CloudForge is a design-to-deploy platform: the diagram is the source that generates deployable IaC.
| Capability | CloudForge | Cloudcraft |
|---|---|---|
| Live import of existing cloud resources | Azure & AWS | AWS & Azure |
| Isometric 3D-style diagrams | Holographic 3D review mode | |
| Terraform / IaC generation from diagrams | ||
| Deploy from the tool (plan + approval) | ||
| AI architect (natural language → diagram) | ||
| Cost estimation | ||
| GCP support | ||
| Governance / policy checks | ||
| Free VS Code extension | ||
| Free tier | Trial |
The honest verdict
Choose Cloudcraft for gorgeous documentation of what already exists in AWS. Choose CloudForge when the diagram should *become* infrastructure — designed, generated, governed, and deployed from one place.
Cloudcraft is best for documenting existing AWS environments with beautiful isometric views. Comparison based on publicly available information as of July 2026 — check both vendors for current details.
