You should be on the service backtrace page where you will see information for this specific service.

This will get more interesting in the next lab, but for the modernized backend, we can see that the backtrace is as follows:

  1. The starting point is the catalog service
  2. catalog is called by the order service
  3. catalog is called by the frontend service
  4. You may also see browser traffic to the frontend from the My web application. If you don’t that is OK.

👍 How this helps

The service flow and service backtrace give you a complete picture of interdependency to the rest of the environment architecture at host, processes, services, application perspectives.
