Cartography

Cartography is an open-source Python security-graph tool originally built at Lyft that consolidates infrastructure assets and the relationships between them into an intuitive Neo4j graph. It ingests data from 30+ cloud, identity, DevOps, and security providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, Okta, Entra ID, GitHub, Kubernetes, CrowdStrike, and more) and lets security teams answer cross-provider questions such as "which identities can reach which datastores," "which compute instances are exposed to the internet," and "what are the blast radii of a compromised credential."

Cartography publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Security, Cloud Security, Graph, CSPM, and Neo4j.

The Cartography catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

Cartography’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, tutorials, release notes, and 9 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/cartography: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
