Component graph: how to display 100 components and 500 connections
summary
Describes visualizing a system of about 100 components and 500 connections in a microservice architecture: the problem is how to represent many services and their relationships clearly as a monolith is split into microservices. Presents concrete approaches and techniques for drawing component graphs and managing visualization complexity for high‑load systems.
