Thanks for the suggestion. I'd previously added the tutorial linked below, but that clearly wasn't cutting it, so I've now added an example diagram for first-time visitors. If you already visited, click on the top object (probably the help text), press shift-D to delete all items, then refresh the page.
I spend lots of my time at a whiteboard diagramming current or proposed systems. The whiteboard experience is less than ideal: my handwriting isn't great, folks on the other side of a VC can't see, etc. Most diagramming software is designed for careful human placement to get precise results. I built Architype to let me take notes and play with system designs in real time during a conversation, in a way that can be easily projected. It's designed to be entirely client-side and fast, but still powerful enough to produce useful diagrams for most purposes.
This is a networking issue, and your data is safe. Cloud SQL stores instance metadata regionally, so it shares a failure domain with the data it describes. When the region is down or inaccessible, instances are missing from the list results, but that doesn't say anything about the instance availability from within region.
