1. A system for network management comprising:
computer-readable media configured to store a plurality of objects representing a plurality of intent graph models of a network; and
processing circuitry coupled to the computer-readable media, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
based on an amount of change to the network prior to a first time exceeding a threshold value, generate one or more first objects of the plurality of objects, the one or more first objects storing an intent graph model associated with the first time;
receive a request indicating an intent graph model associated with a requested time;
determine the one or more first objects of the plurality of objects, the first time different from the requested time;
determine one or more second objects of the plurality of objects, the one or more second objects storing difference information indicating one or more changes to the intent graph model associated with the first time that occurred after the first time;
apply the one or more changes to the intent graph model associated with the first time to generate the intent graph model associated with the requested time; and
output an indication of the intent graph model associated with the requested time.
