Case Study: CAST Software achieves near-real-time IT architecture visibility with Neo4j

Graph Technology Fuels Rapid Development of IT Architecture Visibility Solution

CAST, a pioneer in Software Intelligence, helps organizations gain deep visibility into the internal structure of their software. As customers’ IT estates grew more diverse and complex—with thousands to millions of lines of code, dozens of technologies and frequent team turnover—CAST needed a way to map and enormous number of components and relationships to improve knowledge transfer, maintenance and impact assessment.

CAST built the CAST Imaging System using Neo4j (with Linkurious for visualization) and delivered a web application in under a year with a small team. The graph-based solution provides a Google-Maps–style view from architecture down to a line of code, enables near-real-time queries regardless of codebase size, surfaces millions of relationships for better collaboration and impact analysis, and paves the way for future ML-driven enhancements.
