Imbi
A DevOps Service Management Platform for managing complex service ecosystems
Imbi provides a centralized platform to manage, track, and understand all services and applications across your organization. It serves as a single source of truth for service metadata, dependencies, ownership, and operational information.
What is Imbi?
Imbi helps organizations answer critical questions about their service landscape:
- What services do we have? Complete inventory with ownership, type, and namespace organization
- How are they related? Graph-based dependency tracking and relationship visualization
- Who owns what? Clear ownership and team assignments
- What's deployed where? Environment-specific URLs and deployment tracking
- What needs attention? Project health scoring based on configurable factors
- Where's the documentation? Links to repos, CI/CD, monitoring, and other tools
Key Benefits
- Single Source of Truth: Centralized service catalog with comprehensive metadata
- Relationship Visualization: Graph database enables intuitive dependency mapping
- Automation Ready: API-first design enables integration with CI/CD, webhooks, and automations
- AI-Powered: Built-in vector search and conversational AI support for natural language queries
- Extensible: Blueprint system for customizable project metadata schemas
- Developer Friendly: Automatic data collection via GitHub webhooks and integrations
Version 2.0 (Alpha)
Complete rewrite using modern Python technologies for improved performance, scalability, and AI integration:
- FastAPI: Modern async web framework with automatic OpenAPI documentation
- Apache AGE: Graph database (PostgreSQL extension) for modeling service relationships and dependencies
- ClickHouse: Analytics and time-series data storage for operations logs and metrics
- Pydantic v2: Type-safe data validation and settings management
What's New in v2
- Graph Database: Apache AGE (PostgreSQL) for intuitive relationship modeling and AI-friendly Cypher queries
- Modern API: FastAPI provides automatic OpenAPI docs, async performance, and better type safety
- Simplified Architecture: Single PostgreSQL instance for relational and graph data
- Full Authentication: OAuth2/OIDC (Google, GitHub, Keycloak) and local password authentication with JWT tokens
- Fine-Grained Authorization: Permission-based access control with resource-level permissions and role management
- Analytics Ready: ClickHouse integration for operations logs and time-series metrics
For developers, see CLAUDE.md for development guide and architecture details.
Quick Start
Development Environment
# Set up development environment (install deps, pre-commit hooks)
moon run root:setup
# Start Docker services (writes .env.test), then run the dev server with auto-reload
moon run root:services
uv run --env-file .env.test imbi-api serve --dev
# Initialize Imbi (first time only — seeds roles/permissions, creates admin user)
uv run --env-file .env.test imbi-api setup
# Access the API
curl http://localhost:8000/status
Testing
# Run the API member's test suite
moon run api:test
# Lint, type-check, and format-check
moon run api:lint api:typecheck api:format
Core Concepts
Data Model
Imbi organizes services using a flexible, graph-based data model:
-
Organizations: Top-level organizational units
- Unique slug identifier
- Name, description, and optional icon
- Foundation for hierarchical team structure
-
Teams: Groups within organizations
- Managed by an organization (MANAGED_BY relationship)
- Own and maintain projects
- Unique slug identifier within their scope
-
Projects: Individual services or applications
- Owned by a team (OWNED_BY relationship)
- Categorized by project type (TYPE relationship)
- Deployed in environments (DEPLOYED_IN relationship)
- Links to external tools (GitHub, Jira, PagerDuty, monitoring, etc.)
- Environment-specific URLs (staging, production, etc.)
- Custom identifiers (repo IDs, service IDs, etc.)
-
Project Types: Service categorization
- Web Services, APIs, Libraries, Databases, etc.
- Unique slug identifier
- Used to classify projects
-
Environments: Deployment targets
- Production, Staging, Development, etc.
- Unique slug identifier
- Projects can be deployed to multiple environments
-
Blueprints: JSON Schema-based metadata templates
- Apply to Organizations, Teams, Environments, Project Types, or Projects
- Define custom fields with validation rules
- Enforce required metadata
- Priority-based application when multiple blueprints match
- Optional filtering based on entity properties
-
Users, Groups, and Roles: Authentication and authorization
- Users with OAuth or local password authentication
- Groups for organizing users
- Roles with fine-grained permissions
- Resource-based access control
API Access
Once the server is running, explore the API:
# Health check
curl http://localhost:8000/status
# Get authentication providers
curl http://localhost:8000/auth/providers
# API documentation
open http://localhost:8000/docs # ReDoc UI
