Tia Zanella - Founder and Lead Maintainer
Tia Zanella started writing the OSIRIS JSON specification in 2025 after nearly two decades of designing, documenting, and helping teams and organizations maintain heterogeneous infrastructure stacks across on-premise data centers, public cloud providers, hyperscalers, and environments where IT and facility OT systems coexist.
That experience exposed a recurring problem: infrastructure teams often struggle to get a clear, point-in-time view of resources and their relationships. Comparing snapshots over time usually requires bespoke integrations, vendor-specific parsers, proprietary tools, or undocumented knowledge held by a few people inside an organization. Organizations end up paying massive amounts of money to partners, consultancies, and now AI platforms, just to obtain visibility into infrastructure data they already own.
OSIRIS JSON addresses this by defining a vendor-neutral JSON interchange schema for infrastructure topology. Producers translate source data into OSIRIS JSON documents. Consumers read and process OSIRIS JSON documents for validation, documentation, diagrams, audits, inventory workflows, diffing, and other controlled use cases.
The first release of OSIRIS JSON is intentionally a static snapshot format. It describes what exists and how it relates at a specific moment in time, while leaving room for future growth through clear versioning, extension rules, and community review.
