RedPanda Visualizer is a powerful, interactive graph visualization extension for Azure DevOps. It seamlessly integrates into your repositories, wikis, and dashboards to help you visualize, navigate, and understand complex system architectures, data flows, and infrastructure right from the browser.
Features
Native Repository Preview: Simply click on any .graphjson file in your Azure Repos to instantly view a beautifully rendered, interactive graph instead of raw JSON code.
Dashboard & Wiki Integration: Embed live, interactive architectural diagrams directly into your DevOps Dashboards and Wiki pages using the built-in widget.
Interactive Exploration: Zoom, pan, and drag nodes to explore complex relationships.
Smart Routing & Layouts: Benefit from professional, collision-free edge routing and automatic layout arrangements.
Rich Context: View metadata, connection details, and hierarchical nesting without leaving Azure DevOps.
Getting Started
Install the Extension: Install RedPanda Visualizer into your Azure DevOps organization.
View a Graph: Navigate to Repos > Files, find any file ending in .graphjson, and click on it. The visualizer will automatically render the graph!
Add to a Dashboard: Edit any dashboard, search for the "RedPanda Visualizer" widget, and point it to a .graphjson file in your repository.
Embed in a Wiki: Use the Azure DevOps widget macro to embed graphs directly in your Markdown documentation.
Privacy & Security
RedPanda Visualizer is fully client-side. The extension reads the .graphjson files directly from your repository using Azure DevOps native APIs and renders them securely within your browser. No repository data or graph information is ever transmitted to external servers.
