Use cases
Perfect Use Cases
New Service Kickoff
Align product, platform, and security early. Map requirements for rate limits, error handling, and documentation before building.
Post‑Incident Review
Identify gaps in retries, logging, and monitoring. Turn findings into an actionable improvement map for the next sprint.
Developer Onboarding
Give new engineers a high-level API blueprint—principles, tools, and standards—so they ramp up faster.
Customize
How to Customize
Paste your topics
Add nodes with your API pillars, teams, and standards. Keep labels short and specific.
Refine groups and colors
Drag items into logical clusters and use colors to signal ownership or priority.
Share and iterate
Export, embed, or share a link. Update live as decisions evolve.
Key Benefits
- Faster team alignment on API standards and trade‑offs
- Reduces ambiguity with a single, authoritative view
- Highlights risks and gaps before implementation
- Reusable framework that scales across services
Pro Tips
- Use consistent nouns and verbs in node labels (e.g., Authenticate, Authorize, Observe).
- Link nodes to policies or specs (OpenAPI, deprecation policy, SLOs) for traceability.
- Time‑box workshops to 30 minutes per category to keep momentum.
