Nova Canvas is the visual surface for understanding incidents, planning architecture, and writing post-mortems. Drag any service from your topology onto the canvas and it arrives live: real metrics, real traces, real alerts, all pinnable to the diagram so the picture always reflects reality.
Drop a metric, trace, log query, or alert badge onto any node and Nova Canvas keeps it live. The chart you pinned at 3am updates the next time someone opens the canvas. Architecture diagrams stop being stale PDFs and start being a window into production.
Nova already knows your services, dependencies, and ownership. Open Nova Canvas, search for a service, and drag it on. The node arrives with its real upstream and downstream edges, owners, current alert state, and the right icon. Sketching architecture stops being a copy-paste exercise.
Every annotation, arrow, and pinned signal on the canvas is timestamped and version-controlled. When the incident closes, export the canvas as a post-mortem section: timeline, blast radius, hypothesis chain, and remediation steps already laid out. No more retyping notes from a Slack thread.
Nova Canvas turns architecture and incident sketching into a living artifact. Drag your services on, pin your signals, and the picture stays accurate without anyone maintaining it.
