Ask HN: How do you documenting/visualising a microservices architecture?

9 pointsby kostareloover 9 years ago
I was wondering how do people documenting or visualising a microservices architecture. Do you use a particular tool? If you do versioning, how do you keep compatibility notes? Something else you are using?

Cloudcraft has some pretty output for diagrams.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloudcraft.co&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloudcraft.co&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10722942" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10722942</a>

Caution: You may find this irrelevant: When I was working at Amazon, I had attended a tech talk in which the speakers discussed about how they had tried to build a tool to visualize service dependencies within Amazon (It was a fun side project for them). The issue they faced was that there were just too many services and an attempt to display all the services, even on a large monitor just resulted in a large black mass (or white mass on a black background, don&#x27;t really remember) that conveyed zero useful information.

I&#x27;ve tried this one once or twice: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jujucharms.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jujucharms.com&#x2F;</a>

I use Terraform, which allows me to visualize my infrastructure as it stands. Though I must admit it&#x27;s not too pretty.
