A topology UI extension

[devcsrj]

Context

When running services under Tilt, I'd love to have a UI that would show me the topology of the running services. Examples would be:

• Apache Skywalking's topology
• Datadog's service map

(I know that the above examples are APMs, and then use the telemetry to determine the connection between services)

Question(s)

• Is it possible to construct a dependency graph based from Tilt's context?
• Is it possible to build this as an extension?

have you seen https://github.com/tilt-dev/tilt-extensions/tree/master/list_dependencies ?

Ah perfect! That gives me an idea already

What about for modifying UIs? As I browse this repo, I see v1alpha1.ui_button uibutton. Are there other points of extension - e.g., a panel to render this hypothetical graph?

P.S.: For starters, I'll start with just printing on the UI
