Crossplane is powerful, but once you have multiple compositions, managed resources, and claims, it becomes very hard to see how everything connects.
We built Crossview to solve this for ourselves: it visualizes Crossplane compositions and managed resources as a graph, making it easier to understand relationships, debug issues, and explain setups to others.
The project is fully open source and still early. We’d really appreciate feedback from folks using Crossplane, Kubernetes, or building internal platforms:
Is this useful in real-world setups?
What would you expect from a visualization tool like this?

Thanks for taking a look!
We just released Crossview 3.1.0, an open-source tool to visualize Crossplane compositions, managed resources, and claims as interactive graphs.
Since the initial launch, we’ve focused on making Crossview more powerful and reliable for real-world Crossplane users.
In this release, notable improvements include:
Enhanced multi-cluster context support for seamless switching
Faster rendering and smoother UI interactions
Advanced search and filtering capabilities for large-scale setups
Bug fixes and improved stability
Crossplane setups can get complex quickly, and Crossview aims to help teams understand and debug their infrastructure more effectively.
We’d love to get feedback from the community:
How do you handle Crossplane visualization and debugging today?
What features would make Crossview even more useful for you?
Are there any challenges you face with Crossplane UIs that we haven’t addressed yet?
