Navo

Your architecture, alive.

The Git-native Architecture Browser — YAML in, interactive map out. No platform team required.

How Navo works

1

Describe

Write your architecture in YAML and keep it in Git.

architecture.yaml
services:
  - id: api-gateway
    name: API Gateway
    type: service
    group: edge
    links:
      - auth-service
      - user-service
2

Compile

Navo validates your config and creates a living architecture map.

Multi-System Maps

Select system

Platform Architecture
  • Platform Architecture
  • Production Services
  • Product Stack
  • Sandbox

Switch between architectures and keep everything in Git.

Built for teams who need the full picture

  • Architecture lives in slides and dies in Confluence.

  • Only two people know how the platform fits together.

  • Diagrams drift from the real system.

Navo keeps your architecture living next to the code.

  • Git is the source of truth.

  • Validate in CI, deploy anywhere.

  • Static SPA — simple and secure.

  • Optional Elasticsearch for search.

  • Annotations stay local until you export for a PR.

A workflow that fits how developers work

Edit YAML in Git

Define services, groups, links, and docs.

Validate in CI

Catch issues early with schema checks.

Deploy Anywhere

Docker, Kubernetes, or static hosting.

Explore & Evolve

Understand systems, annotate, and contribute.

Built around Git, not around a platform team

Navo keeps architecture canonical in your repository. Search indexes and browser annotations are helpers — never a second source of truth.

Git remains canonical

Your architecture map lives in the repository. Navo reads compiled config — it never becomes a second source of truth.

Changes ship through pull requests

Annotate locally, export merged YAML, and open a PR. Reviewers validate schema in CI before merge.

Deploy as a static SPA

Ship with Docker and nginx, Kubernetes, or any static host. Private DNS and VPN-friendly for internal maps.
