The Self-Documenting Enterprise: Building an AI-Powered Service Catalog - Srikanth Vinnakota

This talk addresses the challenges associated with static documentation in microservices, emphasizing its role as a barrier to agility. The speaker introduces the AI-Powered Service Catalog, an intelligent system designed to derive documentation directly from the code, thus minimizing operational risks linked to outdated service registries. The session highlights techniques such as AI-driven metadata extraction, smart merge logic for managing both static and dynamic information, and GitOps-driven updates that ensure the catalog remains current with changes in code. Attendees will learn how to optimize AI analysis through targeted file collections, focusing on specific outcomes like dependency management in .NET projects.
