Service Node
A service node is an independent unit or part in the system or global calling relationship, representing a specific functional component within the system. For example, these nodes may include microservices, gateways, message queues, databases, etc. You can view the supported node types.
Connection Line
Represents the communication path between services, such as API calls or direct data flows. When "a connection line goes from Service A to Service B," it means that Service A relies on Service B to complete its operations.
Dependency
Refers to other services that a service relies on to perform its functions. This dependency can take various forms, with service calling relationships being the most common. For example, when “Service A depends on Service B,” it implies a call from Service A to Service B.
