Ask HN: How does your team maintain a high level overview of its microservices?

Are you referring to just internal documentation about your own architecture?

If you are struggling with the runtime dependency and debugging, make sure you have a distributing opentracing stack like Jaeger running.

If it’s internal docs and wikis and knowledge, make this part of what you build. Writing code and shipping to servers isn’t where our job as engineers ends. Document it. Training your coworkers. Make sure you are building maintainable software, and that means that building software isn’t just about writing code.

Thanks. I was referring to internal docs and knowledge on the purpose of each microservice and how they interconnect (like a dependency matrix).
