Support for logical grouping of processes and data stores

[kohlerbn]

Describe what problem your feature request solves Various processes and data stores can be grouped with a drawing object in order to show their logical association. For example, imagine a web server and database - should be represented as a process and a data store, but together are logically the server-side systems or the "application".

Describe the solution you'd like I'm thinking of some sort of a dotted line faded box that can wrap around current drawing objects to show their grouping.

Additional context None.

Hi @kohlerbn, thanks for opening the issue!

In version 2 (to be released some point next year), we've added a "box-style" trust boundary. The text that says "trust boundary" can be edited to say whatever it needs to (eg "backend").

Do you think that this would satisfy that need for logical grouping of entities?

Hi @lreading - that could work. But, typically trust zones mean something relevant to the threat model whereas what I was thinking of is more just a logical grouping. I am very excited for the trust zone boundaries though!

Thinking about this more, I can definitely see the difference between the logical grouping and trust boundaries. I think this would be a nice feature to add. It probably won't bee with the initial 2.0 release, but something that should be easy enough to add later. :smile:
