First of all, thanks for your work on D2, it is the coolest of them all IMHO. I would definitely use animations because management loves shiny things and if they are happy I get my salary bumped.

I have recently made a solution for dynamically codifying the network layout of AWS accounts with D2. D2 was the only solution that was allowing to render a lot of objects without having to fight the engine with tons of hints. My only complaint was/is that the sdk/d2lib was very under-documented, so initially I started off with generating text as a map before realizing that there is a better way that is barely used. It took me some time to figure out how to use the lib for the trickier parts.

Would love to see that shared in github/lab if you’re allowed.

I would share it, but BigCorp would come after me. It is nothing terribly smart really. I am using steampipe to list all the regions for VPC/Subnets/NAT GW/IGW/[everything else networky] and loop through the list adding nodes to the diagram. There is a long list of accounts which all gets generated and committed in a git repo. The big challenge was to make it all readable instead of making a mess.
