cloudwire 0.2.0

Scan and visualize your AWS infrastructure as an interactive graph

cloudwire

Scan your AWS account and visualize resource dependencies as an interactive graph — directly in your browser, running entirely on your local machine.

No data leaves your system. AWS credentials never leave your terminal. The graph is built locally using your existing credential chain (~/.aws/credentials, aws sso login, saml2aws, aws-vault — all work out of the box).

---

Install

pip install cloudwire
cloudwire

That's it. The browser opens automatically at http://localhost:8080.

Requirements: Python 3.9+ and valid AWS credentials configured locally.

What it looks like

• Dark hacker-aesthetic graph canvas
• Nodes represent AWS resources — Lambda functions, SQS queues, API Gateways, RDS instances, S3 buckets, and more
• Edges represent relationships and data flow between resources
• Click any node to inspect its attributes and connected resources
• Search, filter by service, highlight upstream/downstream blast radius

Contributing

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+ (3.11 recommended)
• Node.js 18+
• AWS credentials configured (any method)

Set up the dev environment

git clone https://github.com/hisingh_gwre/cloudwire
cd cloudwire

# Python
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

# Frontend
cd frontend && npm install

Run in development mode

make dev

This starts the FastAPI backend on :8000 (with --reload) and the Vite dev server on :5173 concurrently. The Vite dev server proxies all /api/* requests to the backend — no CORS config needed.

Making changes

Area	Where to edit
Add a new AWS service scanner	cloudwire/app/scanner.py → add a _scan_<service> method and register it in self.service_scanners
Change graph layout	frontend/src/lib/graphTransforms.js
Add a new UI component	frontend/src/components/
Change API routes	cloudwire/app/main.py — all routes are under the /api prefix
Change CLI options	cloudwire/cli.py

Before opening a PR

• Run a scan against a real (or mocked) AWS account and confirm the graph renders
• Make sure make build completes without errors
• Keep PRs focused — one feature or fix per PR

Code style

• Python: standard library imports first, then third-party, then local. No formatter enforced yet.
• JavaScript: no linter enforced yet. Match the style of the surrounding file.
