Component Graph

Intro​

RocketSLO empowers you to visualize and track component dependencies, fostering a deeper understanding of your system's architecture and potential problem areas.

Types of Component Relations​

  • Dependency: This relationship indicates that a component relies on another component to function correctly.
  • Dependent: This relationship indicates that a component is depended upon by another component.

Ideally, every component should have a defined set of dependencies. These dependencies can be either logical (e.g., a product depends on feature) or physical (e.g., a service depends on another service).

Leveraging Dependency Knowledge​

RocketSLO intelligently utilizes information about component dependencies in several ways:

  • Targeted Notifications: Route notifications to the relevant teams when issues arise, ensuring timely awareness and action.
  • Problem Identification: Proactively pinpoint potential problems by analyzing dependency chains and identifying components that could be impacted by issues in upstream dependencies.
  • Improvement Suggestions: Recommend improvements based on dependency analysis, such as reducing complexity or enhancing quality objectives.

By understanding and managing component dependencies, you can make informed decisions that enhance the overall quality and reliability of your system.
