Applications

Architecture Intelligence organizes detected applications, their resources, costs, dependencies, and modernization recommendations.

Open Applications

Go to Architecture > Applications.

The top navigation contains Applications and Recommendations. Summary metrics can include Applications Detected, Direct Cost, Indirect Cost, and Savings Opportunity.

Review an application

1. Filter or select an application from the inventory.
2. Open its detail page.
3. Use the Architecture, Resources, and Recommendations tabs.
4. Review application services, workers or async components, persistence, shared platform dependencies, and relationship labels.
5. Compare direct and indirect costs.
6. Open an eligible recommendation bundle to review its evidence, impact, risk, confidence, and next-step guidance.

The recommendation summary can show Open Bundles, Estimated Savings, and High-Risk Bundles.

Review checklist

Check	What to validate
Ownership	The application owner and platform owner agree on the mapped resources.
Direct cost	Resources dedicated to the application are included.
Indirect cost	Shared platform services are represented without double-counting.
Dependencies	Data stores, queues, workers, and shared services are linked to the right application.
Recommendations	Evidence, impact, risk, and confidence are reviewed before action.

Best practices

• Confirm that application ownership and resource mapping are complete before using indirect-cost figures.
• Treat shared dependencies separately from directly owned resources.
• Review recommendation evidence with application and platform owners.
• Use the architecture diagram to find missing or unexpected relationships.

The frontend shows explicit restricted-access states for application and recommendation pages. Ask an administrator for the recommendations navigator permission if needed.
