Today we are opening Dependra to organizations ready to move beyond static architecture catalogs. After months of building, testing, and refining with early design partners, we are making the platform available to everyone.
What is Dependra?
Dependra is an enterprise architecture and impact intelligence platform. It lets organizations model their entire IT landscape — from infrastructure through components, applications, and business processes — and compute the blast radius when something breaks.
Your monitoring tools tell you what is broken. Dependra tells you who cares and how much it costs.
That is the core insight behind everything we build. When a payment service goes down, your ops team sees an alert. But does your CTO know that three business-critical capabilities serving 12,000 users are now degraded? Does your CFO know the hourly revenue exposure? Dependra connects the technical graph to the business graph — automatically, in real time.
What you get on day one
Dependra ships with a complete set of capabilities for modeling, analyzing, and governing IT landscapes:
-
Full-chain blast radius — Traverse the complete dependency chain: failed infrastructure through components, applications, business processes, capabilities, and audiences. Revenue at risk per segment. SLA breach countdown. Regulatory exposure flags. One-click impact reports ready for Slack or Jira.
-
Interactive architecture canvas — A multi-level graph visualization with application and component views. Animated dependency and data flow modes. Diagram collections with team scoping, blast radius saved as named diagrams, and freeform Excalidraw whiteboards for architecture discussions.
-
Business process modelling — Versioned workflows with approval gates, actor assignment, and capability linkage. Blast radius identifies which process steps break when a component fails. Decision splits, sub-processes, issue tracking, and inline comments.
-
Business impact intelligence — Map capabilities to audiences and audience segments with per-region revenue attribution. Audience roles distinguish who operates a service from who benefits. Component-level capability mapping enables precision impact analysis.
-
Live health intelligence — Your monitoring tools push health status to Dependra via API. We auto-compute blast radius for every unhealthy component. SLA countdown timers, revenue-at-risk dashboards, external service status polling, and monthly uptime summaries.
-
Technology radar — Track technologies across your landscape with automatic end-of-life data from endoflife.date. Set governance recommendations — Adopt, Trial, Assess, Hold, Retire — per technology. Know which components need upgrades before vendor support ends.
-
Portfolio analysis — Gartner TIME model with auto-computed technical fit from live signals: component health, tech debt, vendor end-of-life, risk findings. Slice by capability or audience. Every score fully decomposable — no opaque numbers.
-
Structural risk analysis — Detect single points of failure, hot paths carrying disproportionate business value, brittle dependency chains, tech debt in critical paths, sunset risks with active dependents, and unprotected public-facing components.
-
Infrastructure modelling — Model hosting providers, zones, areas, and connectivity. Cloud accounts, data centers, VPNs, firewalls — all first-class entities in the graph. Infrastructure-aware blast radius traces failures from a data center outage to affected customer segments.
-
API and AI agent integration — Full REST API with idempotent upsert for every entity type. Scoped API keys with configurable expiration. MCP server for AI agents — let your AI tools query and update your architecture model directly.
-
Multi-tenant architecture — Every organization gets a fully isolated tenant. Role-based access control with four levels (viewer, editor, admin, owner). Switch between tenants seamlessly.
Who is this for?
Dependra is for engineering leaders, enterprise architects, and platform teams who need to understand the true impact of their architecture decisions. If you have ever been asked “what breaks if this goes down?” and could not answer quickly, Dependra is built for you.
We are particularly focused on mid-size to large enterprises that have outgrown spreadsheets and Visio diagrams but find traditional EA tools to be expensive exercises in manual data entry that quickly become stale.
Getting started
Sign up at dependra.io/signup and start modeling your landscape. The trial gives you full access — no payment required — to explore blast radius, business process modelling, and the complete API. You can import your architecture via API, paste a manifest, model it visually on the canvas, or combine all three.
Pricing is published openly on our pricing page, with the core impact-intelligence model — blast radius included — available from the entry tier.
What is next
Our roadmap is driven by design partner feedback. Areas we are actively working on:
- Confluence and documentation export — Generate architecture documentation from your live model with one click
- Deeper CI/CD integration — Automated dependency discovery from deployment pipelines
- Change impact analysis — “What would break if we decommission this component?” as a first-class query
- Expanded webhook integrations — Push blast radius results to more incident management tools
We will share more about each of these capabilities as they ship.
We built Dependra because we believe architecture intelligence should be accessible, visual, and connected to business outcomes. Not buried in spreadsheets. Not locked behind six-figure contracts. Not maintained by a handful of heroes while the rest of the organization ignores the architecture catalog.
If that resonates, we would love to hear from you.
