Features

Threat Composer

Integrate threat modeling practices into your development workflow by creating and version controlling your threat models as code.

Threat Composer for the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code allows you to create, view and edit Threat Composer threat models .tc.json directly within VSCode.

Infrastructure Composer

AWS Infrastructure Composer maintains a real-time visual representation of your application architecture in sync with your IaC. Changes to the architecture—such as adding new resources or changing service configuration—are reflected in the IaC artifacts, and vice versa.

• Visually compose modern applications from 1,000+ AWS CloudFormation resources with little guesswork.
• Use the right tool for the task, including visual, code, or generative AI powered code suggestions in your IDE.
• Integrate with Workflow Studio to visually orchestrate over 220 AWS services or public http endpoints with Step Functions workflows.

Amazon CodeCatalyst

Unified software development service to quickly build and deliver applications on AWS.

Step Functions

Step Functions Workflow Studio provides a dynamic, visual representation of your state machine definition. Any changes you make, such as adding new resources or adjusting service configurations, are automatically reflected in your state machine definition.
