Hi, in our setup we have several microservices that each have their own database but exchange data via their api. We would like to ingest the database schemas but also the exchange that happens via the APIs, so that the lineage is traceable from the DB via the API into another DB. I assume a microservice setup is pretty typical, but I have not seen any example of how to model the APIs of a microservice. Any advice on how to include these? Or is this just a bad idea and nobody does it?

I think this is a relatively common setup, you’ll just want to use our API/SDK’s to do the ingestion and lineage mapping
