In web-scale systems comprising of many different services the architecture may not always be clear. There may be clear communication paths, for example an HTTP call to a different service, but also less-clear paths, for example an event through a message broker.

Over time, the actual architecture of the system can deviate from the initial plan. Also, there may be new communication paths (and thereby dependencies between services). It is important to have a complete overview of the system architecture to make informed decisions on changes to the architecture or individual services.

We would like to use source code, infrastructure-as-code configuration files and runtime information to create a complete overview of the architecture of the system. This information may be enriched to show all related services and communication from a single operation by an end-user.
