Service mesh, force-laid
Switch between the region/AZ/service schematic and the flat 4,000-host stress mesh, and watch the hot links pulse along their length on a clock independent of the layout. Hover is not wired up here, for the same reason as the force-directed graph: positions live only on the GPU.
A region/AZ/service/pod schematic in schematic mode, a flat 4,000-host mesh in stress mode. Both start on a seeded ring and settle under the same force layout GPUGraph uses.
Hot links — high health, high traffic — pulse along their length; the pulse is a separate clock from the layout, so it keeps moving after the graph settles.
Same reason as GPUGraph: positions move every layout iteration and live only in GPU memory, so there is nothing on the CPU to hit-test against.
The force layout is GPU-resident — same ping-pong buffer approach as GPUGraph. The layout animation can still stutter in some browsers — a bug we are tracking, and the reason this component is demo-only for now.
