At that time, the feature was quite basic, basically a lightweight system for service cataloging, hosting tech docs, and providing templating engine. I admit, I didn&rsquo;t really utilize it properly back then. Initially, my team leveraged it solely to list our microservices, a necessary step given we managed customer data distributed across numerous clusters. We even built a custom plugin to visualize AWS billing based on customer metadata, but beyond that, our usage was limited. In retrospect, I didn&rsquo;t realize that we can actually get more out of it. I missed opportunities to leverage all of its features. My focus was elsewhere, leaving the powerful potential of the platform untapped.</p>
