Building One Knowledge Graph Across 46 Repositories With Static Analysis (Part 1)
Scored daily by a customisable AI persona to surface the most relevant engineering leadership news.
Deep technical article on static analysis for knowledge graphs, highly relevant.
Ryan, CTO at airCloset, built a knowledge graph called code-graph across 46 repositories using tree-sitter static analysis to trace cross-service dependencies that AI alone cannot reliably extract due to context window limits and hallucination. The graph captures boundary nodes—APIs, databases, and events—that span multiple frameworks (jQuery, AngularJS, Express, NestJS, TypeORM, Redux Axios) and services, enabling blast radius analysis for production impact. Part 1 details the construction and limitations of code-graph, while Part 2 will cover service-product-graph (SPG) to compensate for static analysis gaps.
