Add ServicePathMapper to Network Analysis section ServicePathMapper is a Python tool for mapping and analyzing service-based paths between servers in distributed systems, with support for fine-grained policy constraints. Adding this tool to the list provides users with a unique resource for analyzing service relationships and connectivity in complex environments. The new "Network Analysis" section can also accommodate similar tools in the future.

What is this project?
ServicePathMapper performs configuration-based, static dependency mapping of all valid service-based paths in a complex distributed system, honoring policy constraints. It analyzes the participation of servers and services in those paths, helping you understand potential dependencies and the impact of configuration or policy changes.
This tool is intended for system architects, DevOps engineers, and developers working with distributed systems, and the new "Network Analysis" section can also accommodate future tools for distributed systems analysis.
Why is it awesome?
It provides a simple, user-friendly way to map and analyze connectivity in distributed systems, with flexible policy constraints—addressing a need for lightweight analysis without the complexity of distributed tracing tools.
Use Cases
Map all service-based paths between two servers in a complex distributed system:
Apply policy constraints to explore what-if scenarios:
Analyze server-service relationships:
