A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, by one or more processors disposed within a system and from a client device, a request to generate an application topology map for a software application from a plurality of software applications installed on the system, wherein the system includes persistent storage containing application components, and wherein the plurality of software applications have respectively associated application context records that include references to one or more of the application components that provide at least some behavior or data related to the plurality of software applications;
• identifying, by the one or more processors and based on an application context record associated with the software application, a subset of application components that provide at least some behavior or data related to the software application;
• determining, by the one or more processors and based on the subset of application components, relationship types between pairs of application components from the subset of application components;
• generating, by the one or more processors, an application topology map for the software application, wherein the subset of application components are represented as nodes in the application topology map, and wherein edges between the nodes are defined based on the relationship types between corresponding pairs of application components;
• and
• providing, by the one or more processors and for display on the client device, a representation of the application topology map.

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by one or more processors disposed within a computing system, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a client device, a request to generate an application topology map for a software application from a plurality of software applications installed on a system, wherein the system includes persistent storage containing application components, and wherein the plurality of software applications have respectively associated application context records that include references to one or more of the application components that provide at least some behavior or data related to the plurality of software applications;
• identifying, based on an application context record associated with the software application, a subset of application components that provide at least some behavior or data related to the software application;
• determining, based on the subset of application components, relationship types between pairs of application components from the subset of application components;
• generating, an application topology map for the software application, wherein the subset of application components are represented as nodes in the application topology map, and wherein edges between the nodes are defined based on the relationship types between corresponding pairs of application components;
• and
• providing, for display on the client device, a representation of the application topology map.
