Exemplar Diagram

Treemap showing annual cloud infrastructure costs broken down by service category and specific service, with rectangle sizes proportional to spend:

treemap-beta
"Compute"
    "EC2 Instances": 45000
    "Lambda Functions": 12000
    "ECS Containers": 8000
"Storage"
    "S3 Buckets": 18000
    "RDS Databases": 15000
    "DynamoDB": 6000
"Networking"
    "CloudFront CDN": 9000
    "API Gateway": 7000
"Observability"
    "CloudWatch": 5000
    "Datadog": 8000

Tips

• Parent nodes (sections) use quoted text: "Section Name"
• Leaf nodes add a value: "Leaf Name": 123
• Hierarchy is created by indentation (spaces or tabs)
• Values determine the size of each rectangle — larger value = larger area
• Keep to 2–3 levels of nesting for clarity
• Use classDef and :::class syntax for styling nodes
• Always pair with a Markdown text description above for screen readers
