Hey there!
I built Foundry Atlas — an interactive map of the Palantir Foundry application landscape and how all the pieces connect. Instead of a static diagram, it’s a living, explorable graph: each node is a Foundry application, and the links show how they relate (feeds, powers, builds on, governs, …). Hover a node and its whole neighborhood lights up, so you can actually see how Foundry fits together.

I started this after reading Application Landscape of Foundry — it got me thinking that a visual, always-up-to-date map could genuinely help both newcomers finding their footing and experienced engineers reasoning about dependencies, and that some of these little features could double as references for docs, explanations, onboarding, etc.
It’s built with react-force-graph-2d for the map and Blueprint, Palantir’s open-source React UI toolkit, for everything else — so it feels right at home next to Foundry.
What it does (and how it can help)
Explore the landscape
- A force-directed map, color-coded by category, where node size reflects how connected an app is — the hubs jump right out.
- Click any app for a detail panel: what it is, what it’s used for, a learning tip, a link to the official docs, and its connections.
- Search + filters by category, experience level, generation, and “core apps only.”
For people learning Foundry
- Learning Path mode — a guided, numbered route through the platform so you know what to learn and in what order.
- “Core” and beginner/intermediate/advanced tags so you can start from the right place.
- Tutorials & videos per app — curated Foundry-learning links and YouTube videos right on each application.
For advanced engineers & for referencing
- Share a permalink to any view (a focused app, a filtered map) — links come with rich preview cards when pasted in Slack/Discord/etc.
- Export a clean PNG — a single app’s “neighborhood” card, or a learning-path card — perfect for docs, slides, and onboarding material.
- Embed it — drop the live map (or a single app card) straight into Notion, an internal wiki, or a blog post; every embed links back.
This is the part I’d love your help with. I populated the apps and links from my own knowledge and the official documentation, so some things are surely missing or could be sharpened. Rather than keep it locked to me, anyone can suggest a correction, a new link, or an edit to an existing link right inside Atlas — it goes into a moderation queue and gets reviewed before it lands. Crowdsourcing accuracy is exactly the hard part of keeping a map like this current.
So please — if you spot something off or know a connection I missed, hit the suggest button.
And if you’d like to help build features that could serve the Foundry community, the project is fully open source — contributions welcome:
