Dynamic visualization of application and infrastructure components with layers

A system for providing dynamic visualization of application and infrastructure components, comprising:

• an interface configured to interface with a user or an API client;
• a dynamic visualization application executed by a server;
• a plurality of systems of record, each system of record comprising information about a plurality of applications or a plurality of infrastructure components;
• and
• a data cache comprising cached information about the plurality of applications or the plurality of infrastructure components;
• wherein:
• the interface receives from a requestor a request for information about an application or infrastructure;
• the dynamic visualization application queries one or more of the systems of record or the data cache for data about the application or infrastructure components within the infrastructure;
• the dynamic visualization application formats the data received from the one or more systems of record or the data cache according to a data definition;
• the dynamic visualization application identifies relational links between the applications and the infrastructure components in the formatted data;
• and
• the dynamic visualization application graphically renders the formatted data and relational links in a plurality of interactive levels.
