Topology Canvas

The Topology Canvas in StackGen is a visual design tool for creating, managing, and validating cloud infrastructure. You can drag and drop cloud resources, configure their settings, establish connections, and export Infrastructure as Code (IaC). It provides an interactive way to plan and validate infrastructure before deployment.
