Service Application Knowledge Graph and Dependency System

Abstract

Service architecture adoption is widespread and brings many benefits, such as agile development and immutable infrastructure. However, it's hard to govern and understand the vast service ecosystem as each application evolved independently and differently (e.g., features and development methods) from each team. In this paper, we present an approach to model and process application ecosystem as a knowledge graph. The application knowledge graph can help with architectural visibility, operational efficiency, and developer productivity.
