That asymmetry is by design — but at scale, it creates a fog that extends every incident, slows every migration, and makes orphaned infrastructure impossible to clean up safely. This session presents a graph-based Application Topology Agent that reconstructs the complete structural picture from two sources: broker metadata for the consumer side, and source code configuration for the producer side. Built in one week using AI-assisted development, the agent identified 42 orphaned consumer groups on first production run and reduced downstream impact triage from hours to 200 milliseconds. This is the architecture, the design decisions, and the lessons from running it in production. |
