Core concepts

How the model, the graph and the impact engine fit together.

Tenants, users & roles → How multi-tenancy, user membership, and role-based access control work in Dependra. Domain model → The Dependra metamodel — strategy & transformation, business architecture, application & data, and infrastructure, connected in one graph with impact intelligence computed across all of it. Dependencies → Dependency types, modes, the channel & security register, and how they drive blast radius analysis. Blast radius analysis → How Dependra computes impact across systems, capabilities, and audiences. Strategy & OKRs → How Dependra's strategy layer connects objectives and key results to your live IT landscape — computed metrics, risk signals, alignment, and carry-forward cycles.

Guides

Step by step, from first landscape to live key results.

Model your first landscape → Step-by-step guide to creating your first product suite, applications, and components in Dependra. Add dependencies → How to create and manage dependencies between applications and components. Visualize & edit in the graph → How to use the interactive graph canvas to explore and model your IT landscape. Model external & third-party systems → How to represent SaaS apps, public APIs, auth providers, and other external dependencies in your Dependra landscape. Connect Slack notifications → Step-by-step guide to creating a Slack app with an Incoming Webhook and connecting it to Dependra for health-change alerts. Connect Atlassian (Confluence & Jira) → Connect Dependra to Jira and Confluence either with the Marketplace apps and a one-time connection code, or with an Atlassian service account whose scopes you control. Run your first OKR cycle → Step-by-step guide to creating a cycle, adding objectives and key results, running check-ins, reading risk signals, closing with carry-forward, and sharing the summary. Computed key results → Use one of 104 built-in landscape metrics to drive a Key Result automatically, with hourly refresh, baseline locking, and guidance on when to prefer computed over manual. Jira key results → Drive a Key Result from a Jira JQL filter — issue count, story point sum, or custom numeric field — with scheduled sweeps and on-demand sync. Push key result values via API → Use the key-results ingest endpoint to push values from Datadog, Salesforce, CI pipelines, or any custom tooling into a Dependra Key Result. Sync your manifest from GitHub Actions → Approve a repository in Dependra, add the manifest-sync workflow, and keep your landscape in lock-step with the code — dry-run on every pull request, apply on merge and release.

API reference

Programmatic and agent access to your tenant.

Quickstart — connect your coding agent → Install the Dependra CLI, sign in, and let your coding agent inventory a repository, push it into your landscape, and answer questions like "what has the most concentrated risk?" API keys → How to create, scope, rotate, and revoke Dependra API keys for programmatic and AI-agent access. Authentication → How to authenticate Dependra API requests with a scoped API key, the tenant-scoped base URL, and code examples in curl, Node.js, and C#. API examples → Accurate request/response examples for creating applications, components and dependencies, pushing health signals, and running blast-radius queries against the tenant-scoped Dependra API.
