recently i read many posts on building a graph for codebase.

why suddenly this becomes popular?

is there a recent breakthough that leads this trend?

Interest has risen in tandem with the popularity of LLMs. I have worked on these sorts of things as part of internal tooling.

Sometimes these strategies are used to provide LLMs with a greater understanding of your codebase to improve code generation results.

Additionally, techniques which allow humans to visualize the shape of code are being explored as engineers become less familiar with the specific implementation.
