For DevOps Engineers, Platform Engineers & SREs
Know what your infrastructure actually depends on.
You deploy code you don't architecturally understand. Not because you're careless — because nobody mapped the dependencies between the application layer and the infrastructure it runs on. Axiom Refract closes that blind spot.
The deployment blind spot.
Your pipeline runs green. Tests pass. Linting is clean. You deploy. And then something breaks in production — not because the code was wrong, but because the change touched a file that 30 other modules depend on, and nobody knew.
Traditional CI/CD tells you whether code compiles and tests pass. It doesn't tell you the structural impact of what you're shipping. It doesn't map the dependency chain from the changed file to the services that consume it. It doesn't flag that you're deploying a change to a single point of failure with a blast radius of 47 files.
Axiom Refract adds the architectural dimension to your deployment pipeline. Know the structural impact before you ship.
Where Axiom fits in your pipeline.
Pre-Merge Gate
Add Axiom as a check in your PR pipeline. Flag changes that touch critical-centrality files or increase SPOF count. Catch architectural drift at commit time.
Post-Deploy Baseline
Run a scan after every release to maintain a current architectural record. Compare against the previous baseline to detect unintended structural changes.
Incident Response
During an incident, query Axiom's API for the blast radius of the suspect file. Know immediately which services are downstream and which teams to page.
Infrastructure Planning
When planning a migration or platform change, use Axiom's dependency graph to understand which application-layer components depend on the infrastructure you're changing.
What Axiom gives your platform team.
API-Driven Analysis
Axiom exposes a full REST API and MCP interface. Trigger scans from your CI/CD pipeline, pull results programmatically, and integrate architectural checks into your existing automation. No portal clicking required.
Blast Radius for Deploy Decisions
Before you deploy, know the structural impact. Axiom calculates which files, modules, and zones are downstream of every change. Use it as a gate in your pipeline or a decision input for canary rollouts.
SPOF Identification for SLA Planning
Single points of failure aren't just a code problem — they're an availability problem. Axiom identifies SPOFs with blast radius scores so you can prioritize redundancy where your SLAs demand it.
Supply Chain Audit
Every dependency is a risk surface. Axiom maps your package tree, flags stale dependencies, identifies license risks, and gives you a clear view of what your application actually ships with.
Map the dependencies between your code and your infrastructure.
Add architectural awareness to your pipeline. Know what you're deploying at the structural level, not just the diff level.
