Tiles, List, Map and Grid

Four views of the same stack. Pick one with the switch at the top, or press 1 to 4. doze remembers the view for each stack.

Larder, the made-up grocery example, in the Map view.

1. 1The view switch. Tiles, List, Map, Grid.
2. 2The stack's switch. Up or down for the whole stack.
3. 3The strip. Memory, CPU, how many are awake, connections, tasks.
4. 4Who calls whom. Left to right, the way a request travels. Lines come from references in doze.hcl.
5. 5Nobody calls these. Services that work from events.
6. 6Shared by the stack. Postgres, Kafka and the rest. The chips on each card say who uses what.
7. 7The keys for this view. They change with the view.

Beside the view switch, Activity (A) reads the stack’s journal over the last hour, day or week: how long each service slept, about how much memory that left free, what woke each one, and what crashed. All logs (L) is every service’s output, merged.

Which view, for what

View	What it shows	Use it to
Tiles 1	A card per service, with its state, its memory and its address.	See at a glance what is awake.
List 2	A row per service, and a details pane for the one you select.	Read addresses and details without opening each one.
Map 3	Who calls whom, from references in doze.hcl. Click a card to draw its lines.	Understand a stack you did not write.
Grid 4	The stack as a table: a row needs each column it has a dot in.	Answer “what uses kafka?” down a column.

Tiles and List group the services the same way: apps (your code), modules (from the doze registry), outside (your own services) and tasks. Every row has a switch: on wakes the service, off puts it to sleep. Putting a service to sleep asks first when something running depends on it.

Tiles. Each card says why the service is awake: storefront needs gateway, so gateway stays up.

List, with catalog selected: its addresses, its command, when it sleeps, and what it needs.

The Grid: read across for what a service needs, down for who needs a service. The last column is the tasks that run before it.

In the Map the arrow keys move between cards the way they are drawn. In the Grid, an arrow key or ⏎ moves into the table, and / filters its rows. Every key is listed under ⌘K and keys.
