Under Active Development Architecture Prototype Topology Engine SLA Governance
Project in Active Development & Prototyping

The IT Service Catalogue & Enterprise Topology platform is currently under active architectural prototyping and development. Topological dependency models, blast radius graph traversal algorithms, and SLA governance matrices are actively being iterated.

IT Service Registry & Enterprise Topology

A 4-layer enterprise cartography and automated blast-radius engine providing holistic visibility, bidirectional dependency mapping, and rigorous SLA governance across modern public-sector and enterprise IT estates.

The Challenge & Problem Space

Taming Hidden IT Dependencies & Cascading Outages

In large organizations and public-sector IT departments, services evolve organically across decades. Business services (payroll, public registry, employment assistance) depend on dozens of microservices, third-party APIs, database clusters, SAN storage volumes, and physical networking switches.

When a database server experiences high latency or an infrastructure switch fails, IT operations teams often struggle to determine which citizen or business services are degraded. Conversely, when maintenance is scheduled, understanding the exact blast radius of the disruption requires tedious manual investigation across disparate spreadsheets.

The Catalogue de Services IT & Topologie d'Entreprise was conceived to solve this with a single pane of glass: an interactive, normalized topological cartography linking high-level business capabilities directly to physical infrastructure with instant blast radius simulation.

Architectural Framework

The 4-Layer Enterprise Model

The platform organizes all IT components into four strictly typed, interconnected tiers, enabling both top-down and bottom-up dependency analysis:

Couche 4 Business Scope

Services Métier (Business Services)

High-level operational services delivered to citizens, civil servants, and business partners. Governed by explicit business SLAs, operational hours, and mission-critical tier ratings.

Portail Candidats & Emploi Gestion des Allocations Comptabilité & Facturation Publique Registre Social Cantonal
Couche 3 Application Scope

Services Applicatifs (Application Services)

Software applications, microservices, backend APIs, and portals that execute the business workflows. Includes frontend web clients, workflow orchestration engines, and authentication gateways.

API Gateway / Envoy Moteur de Workflow BPMN Service de Génération Documentaire Keycloak SSO / OIDC
Couche 2 Platform Scope

Plateforme & Données (Platform & Data Services)

Data persistence, message queuing, caching, and runtime environments supporting application services. Configured with strict RPO (Recovery Point) and RTO (Recovery Time) parameters.

Cluster PostgreSQL HA (Patroni) Redis Cache Cluster RabbitMQ Message Broker MinIO S3 Object Storage
Couche 1 Infrastructure Scope

Infrastructure & Réseau (Infrastructure & Networking)

The physical and virtual foundations: virtualization hypervisors, SAN/NAS storage arrays, network switches, VLAN segments, firewalls, and data center facilities.

Intelligent Graph Analytics

Automated Blast Radius & Dependency Impact

Bidirectional Graph Traversal

Select any node at any layer to immediately reveal both upstream dependents (services impacted if this node goes down) and downstream dependencies (prerequisites needed for this service to function).

SLA Tiering & Criticality

Calculates impact severity dynamically based on SLA tiering (Tier 1 Mission-Critical 99.95%, Tier 2 High, Tier 3 Standard). Outages affecting Tier 1 nodes trigger priority escalations.

Cahier de Maintenance & Runbooks

Integrated operational runbooks, emergency failover procedures, on-call contact matrices, and change management logs attached directly to each topological node.

Engineering Implementation

Packaging, Delivery & Architecture

Interactive Graph Engine
Built with React 18, Vite, and an optimized Cytoscape / D3 graph renderer capable of smoothly rendering hundreds of nodes, cluster layouts, and dynamic filter queries at 60 FPS.
Lightweight Containerization
Multi-stage Docker packaging creating a minimal, production-hardened Alpine Nginx image with sub-50MB footprint, Brotli/Gzip compression, and strict HTTP security headers.
Automated CI/CD Pipeline
GitLab CI pipeline orchestrating automated unit testing, dependency security scanning, Docker image build, container registry publishing, and automated staging deployment.
TOGAF & ITIL Alignment
Designed in full compliance with enterprise architecture standards (TOGAF Architecture Development Method and ITIL Service Design & Configuration Management best practices).
