Visual representation of services and their runtime dependencies to analyze communication, impact and failure sources.
Service maps visualize services and their runtime dependencies in distributed systems. They support architectural decisions, incident investigation and impact analysis by making communication paths, latencies and dependency chains visible and highlighting critical nodes. Typical uses are operations, capacity planning and architecture reviews.
Measures time from incident occurrence to identification of the root cause using the service map.
Counts dependencies marked as high-risk or potentially critical for failures.
Indicates how often the service map is regenerated from telemetry and registry data.
Service map visualizes payment, auth and notification services with latency paths for troubleshooting.
Map shows checkout flow, inventory and order services and external APIs with dependencies.
Service map helps identify tenant isolation and shared infrastructure components.
Define requirements: goals, metrics and update frequency.
Connect sources: integrate tracing, metrics and service registry.
Implement a map generator or configure an existing tool.
Provide visualization and access for stakeholders.
Establish regular validation and automation of updates.
