1. A computer system comprising: one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer system to operate with a cloud-based architecture that performs a method of improving how services are provisioned within the cloud-based architecture at least by providing a portal user interface of a cloud-based provisioning service that is configured to provision one or more services and by dynamically updating the portal user interface to make one or more functions or features associated with the provisioned one or more services available for use directly through the portal user interface, the method comprising: providing the portal user interface of the provisioning service to a user, the provisioning service being deployed in the cloud-based architecture; causing the provisioning service to provision a service in response to user input entered at the portal user interface, the user input specifying parameters of the service to be provisioned, the provisioned service including functionality for generating one or more graphical visualizations, the one or more graphical visualizations being associated with the provisioned service; causing the provisioned service's functionality for generating one or more graphical visualizations to be accessible via the portal user interface, wherein the portal user interface is updateable such that a functionality or feature associated with the provisioned service is accessible to the user via the portal user interface; receiving user input at the portal user interface after the portal user interface has been updated enabling the functionality or feature associated with the provisioned service to be accessible via the portal user interface, the user input being directed to the provisioned service's functionality for generating one or more graphical visualizations; in response to receiving the user input, collecting both performance data and usage data of the provisioned service; and causing a graphical visualization that includes the performance data and the usage data of the provisioned service to be rendered.
