Service Graph

Visualize and manage all your service dependencies with the Service Graph.

The Service Graph in Squadcast is an interactive map showcasing the dependencies among your services. This visual representation provides a quick overview of service health and interconnections.

During incident response, leverage the Service Graph to understand the full impact of an issue, identify the probable cause, and enhance cross-team collaboration.
