Powerful, intuitive navigation
Google Maps like navigation
Visualize all application components and their dependencies. Zoom in and out, down to the finest detail.
Different levels of abstraction
Automatically understand the technology stack, application layers, and dependencies with 5 levels of granularity - from abstracted services to object level granularity.
End-to-End transaction views
Quickly view the entire flow of a transaction in the application. Starting from UI, traversing through several intermediate layers and ending in the database.
Module views based on Tagging
Tag components that constitute the same function or module and visualize how the different modules interact with each other in an application.
Search using multiple tags
Annotate components with multiple tags. Search, filter and visualize how these tagged components interact with each other.
Inventory of all technology components
Inventory and export all the languages, frameworks, libraries, and databases used in the application.
Visualize Inter-App Dependencies
Instantly identify the type of dependencies between applications and investigate the impact of breaking off the linkages.
Precise, deep analysis of application structures
Search for frameworks and show where they are used
Quickly identify frameworks/DLLs/libraries, their associated dependencies and pinpoint where they are used.
Data access graph
Automatically identify and map the pathways of all the components that are involved in processing or using a data entity.
API call graph
Automatically identify API routes with tight dependencies between them (hard to separate) and flows with low dependencies (to be considered for separation).
Visualize interdependencies & their types
Map how the different software components interact with each other in a complex multi-technology application. Visualize the effects of single component change on the entire application.
Auto discover candidates for de-coupling
Quickly identify the artefacts (horizontal layer) contributing to functional communities. Automatically identify communities tightly coupled and with low modularity (hard to separate) and communities with low coupling that could be isolated with minimal effort.
Discover candidates for microservices
Find the most practical (low effort) Microservices candidates. Identify core components (vertical layer) supporting several functions, a good starting point for microservices.
Easy team collaboration
Create Tags
Tag objects against business function to instantly see the impact of functional changes on the underlying application structures.
Attach notes
Annotate views to capture attention and share knowledge and instruction with the team members.
Place Documents
Associate documents or document links to one or a group of components, e.g. all objects tagged to a business function, for instant access to documentation in the right context.
Share customized views
Create customized views of the architecture to share with the team.
Model proposed architecture changes
Brainstorm proposed changes by adding/editing components and links in the blueprints to illustrate the impact on the architecture.
See whose modules your changes will affect
Individual developers can see how their changes impact the architecture and indicate the changes to the affected team.
