The Graph

The graph presents the ground thruth of the companies infrastructure assets. It shows all the relationships between different system components.

What type of problems might there be?

The graph can grow very large, both from a database performance perspective and visualization.
Mixing data that is manually added/maintained and automatically scanned can be hard to coordinate and visualize for users.
Generating the graph model from the relational database requires close coordination of the schema and types. Evolving the schema will be more challenging
Mixing of historical data (temporal graphs) and current state might be harder to reflect in the model OR at least not scalable

What can we measure?

avg latency for full query
Hotspots in queries (which queries are most often used, where do we need indexes)
