11.3 Pipeline Graph (DAG)

Orbnetes deployment and release orchestration documentation for operators and platform teams.

Pipeline DAG graph

The pipeline graph is the primary real-time topology view of execution.

What it shows:

  • jobs and their dependency edges (needs),
  • state transitions (waiting/running/succeeded/failed/canceled),
  • parallel branches and blocked nodes,
  • execution progress context.

Why it matters operationally:

  • quickly identify bottlenecks and blocked dependencies,
  • understand where failure occurred in chain,
  • verify expected order and branch behavior,
  • reduce incident triage time.

Graph-driven workflow:

  1. detect failed or stuck node,
  2. open node/job live page,
  3. inspect step logs,
  4. choose rerun strategy.
