Skopos Surveyor - Discovers Docker architecture in minutes

App architecture shouldn’t be something written on a whiteboard or powerpoint and forgotten about afterward; it’s a living, breathing thing that oftentimes is needed to be shared with other teams. With containers, microservices and continuous delivery, an application architecture can change in seconds and nobody’s the wiser until something breaks. The simple commands available for Docker containers ($ docker ps or $ docker service ls) make it a bit easier to discover what you have running but still don’t produce easy to consume results. They don’t tell you what function a container provides in your architecture or the relationships between services, so sharing this output with other non-developer team members is difficult. Skopos Surveyor solves this problem. It is a free tool for Docker users that scans, discovers and displays your running applications and their architecture. Simple, quick install and you'll have a picture of your architecture in just a few minutes.
