Ownership Metadata

Stub.

Concept: you need the ability to:

• assign ownership of services, code, infrastructure to teams
• lookup ownership of a given service, code, infrastructure
• lookup team membership of an individual
• updates can be slow, eventually consistent
• reads should be highly available

Usecases:

• aggregating teams’ costs
• aggregating teams’ SLOs
• sending nudges on cost or SLO violations
• warnings about flaky tests

Examples:

• ownership service at Uber… what is the more modern name?
• Stripe: almost entirely in monorepo so metadata in ownership files goes a long way
