Graphs: The Fabric of DevOps
summary
Lending Club builds a central graph of infrastructure so teams can actually act on it: Mercator feeds a neo4j database that models 400+ microservices plus repos, Jenkins jobs, ELBs, EC2/RDS, vCenter and storage. The claim: near‑real‑time state lets automated datacenter and cloud deployments, automated patch rolls, alerting for single‑point‑of‑failure and mixed revisions, and weekly cost reports. The system is production used, reduced toil, enabled self‑service and an open‑source Mercator exists.
