Graph View (Groups as Nodes)

Simple force-directed graph: each group is a node. Edges show conceptual adjacency (e.g., serverless relates to integration, monitoring touches most). Click a node to highlight neighbors.

Next: Deep dive group 1 in Index373 (Core Compute). We will cover characteristics, when to choose each service, and decision matrices.
