Architecture Maps
Architecture maps visualise the complete data flow from external sources through the canonical model, projection layers, APIs, and UI views on an interactive grid.
End-to-End Data Flow Visualisation
Architecture maps lay out the complete data pipeline on a grid. Each node represents a data layer: external sources, the canonical model, projection layers, API endpoints, and UI views. Edges show how data flows between them. The grid layout provides a clear visual hierarchy, reading left to right or top to bottom depending on your preference.
Node Types
Several node types represent different stages of the data pipeline. External source nodes represent data that enters from outside the system. Model nodes are derived from the canonical graph. Projection nodes represent each transformation layer where data is reshaped for a specific purpose. Integration nodes cover APIs and UI views that consume projected data. Group hull feeders can import groups of related entities from the model, letting you show domain boundaries on the map.
Step Flows Between Nodes
Step flows define the processing that happens between architecture map nodes. Each step flow is a mini-sequence of operations connecting one node to another. Decision nodes branch based on conditions, letting you represent routing logic. Process nodes describe transformations such as enrichment, validation, or format conversion. Each step carries configurable metadata so readers understand what happens at every stage of the pipeline.
