The Problem

No one knows the full dependency graph of their microservices. Architecture diagrams in Notion are always outdated. Incident blast radius can't be determined without understanding dependencies. New engineers have no map of the system. Service dependencies change constantly without documentation update.

The Solution

Auto-discovery platform that maps your microservice architecture from runtime data (traces, logs, network traffic), visualizes dependencies in real-time, and alerts when dependency health degrades.

Target Audience

Engineering teams with 20+ microservices needing architecture visibility, SRE teams understanding blast radius during incidents, and new engineers needing to understand system architecture

Key Features

1
Auto-discovery of service dependencies from OpenTelemetry traces and network traffic
2
Interactive dependency graph with drill-down into individual services
3
Health monitoring showing latency, error rates, and throughput per dependency
4
Blast radius analysis showing which services are impacted when one fails
5
Change detection alerting when new dependencies appear or disappear
6
Architecture documentation auto-generated from discovered dependencies

Why Now?

Microservice architectures are complex. Nobody maintains architecture docs. OpenTelemetry provides standardized trace data. Incident response requires dependency understanding. New engineers need architecture visibility.

Revenue Model

Free: 5 services. Pro: $29/mo (20 services + health monitoring). Team: $79/mo (100 services + blast radius). Enterprise: $199/mo (unlimited + SSO). Annual: 20% discount.

Competitive Landscape

Datadog Service Map

Part of Datadog APM. $31+/host/mo, requires Datadog ecosystem

Backstage (Spotify)

Developer portal. Free OSS, manual catalog, no auto-discovery

AWS X-Ray

AWS tracing. AWS-only, limited visualization, basic dependency map

Manual architecture diagrams

Always outdated, no health data, no alerting, maintained in Lucidchart/Miro
