Automatically discover and document microservice dependencies, generate up-to-date architecture diagrams, and maintain centralized documentation for better observability.

Workflow Steps

1

Jaeger

Trace service dependencies

Deploy Jaeger tracing to capture distributed traces across your microservices. Configure sampling rates and service discovery to automatically map service-to-service communication patterns and identify critical dependency paths.

2

Zapier

Extract and format trace data

Set up a Zapier webhook to receive Jaeger trace data, then use Zapier's built-in formatter tools to clean and structure the dependency information into a readable format suitable for documentation generation.

3

Notion

Update architecture documentation

Automatically create or update Notion pages with current service dependency maps, API endpoints, and failure patterns. Include visual diagrams and maintain a changelog of architectural changes for easy team reference and onboarding.

Why This Works

Manual architecture documentation quickly becomes outdated in microservices environments. This workflow ensures documentation stays current by automatically extracting real usage patterns from production traces.

Best For

Development teams who struggle to keep microservices documentation current and need better visibility into system architecture
