Dependency map
What a service relies on, and what is failing.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A dependency map lays out clients, runtime, models and tools in columns with lines for traffic between them, and colours each by health. A degraded part and everything that uses it show at once. Use it for AI platforms and service maps.
Pay once. Every update included.

Inspect it like the Figma file.
The same layers, names and tokens as the component. Select one to read its size, fill and style.

Sizes
Re-laid out, never scaled.
The same data at XS, S, M and L. Every size is redrawn from the data, so text and line weights never shrink.

When to use
What breaks if this breaks.
Three signs it fits, and three signs another type fits better.
Code and Figma
One name in Figma and in code.
Every Figma property is a prop with the same name and values. One command installs it.

Dependency map questions.
What people ask before they put a dependency map in a dashboard.
Something else?
hello@usechartory.comIts uptime or its problem where there is room (ATLAS 3 99.99%, ORION XL P95 7.9 S). At M some services show only their name.
Healthy, degraded, down and traffic, named in the legend.
One data object in the sample’s shape: services in layers, links, health. The docs page lists every field and links its JSON Schema; the sample data comes with the component, so you can start from it and swap in your own.
Series take the preset’s data colours in order, and states such as up, down or warning take its status colours. Change the preset in Figma or in code to recolour every chart at once.
XS, S, M and L, in light and dark. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. It plays in when it scrolls into view, and when the data changes every mark moves from its old place to its new one. With reduced motion on, it does not move.
Yes. The Figma component comes with Figma and Complete, the React component with Code and Complete.
Ask for it by name. The MCP server tells the agent what data it needs and runs the same command: npx shadcn add @chartory/dependency-map. You review the diff.
