I'm not sure if this is the right channel - I'll try anyway.
Is there a recommended way to model data producers and consumers?
In a micro-service architecture, we have different services producing data, and different services consuming data. I would like to be able to model this as part of the (awesome!) lineage that we have in Datahub.
Any suggestions ?

are you planning to use the existing metadata model? or extend it to add the concept of a service?

if using the existing model, you have two choices -> either pretend that services are datasets or pretend that services are dataJobs.

I was planning on using the existing metadata model - both options sound reasonable.
Regarding extending the model - can that be achieved without changing the code?
