Technology Panel: Best Practices and Documentation for Implementation

[TL41]

Description

We're looking for more guidance around populating and using the Technology panel.

I see some documentation in the repo but I think some added insight would be helpful:

• https://github.com/finos/waltz/blob/master/docs/design/draft/software_usage/README.md
• https://github.com/finos/waltz/blob/master/docs/features/servers_and_databases/README.md

I’ve done some research on this in the code and it looks like there are 3 ‘types’ of data that can be available in that Technology section: Server, Database, and Software

With that, I see database tables that seem to be related

• Server
  • server_information
  • server_usage
• Database
  • database_information
  • database_usage
• Software
  • software_package
  • software_usage
  • software_version
  • software_version_licence
  • software_version_vulnerability

We can help contribute to documentation

If you could help document that would be great! How about I revisit the documentation we have and then we could schedule a follow up call to review and agree on needed documentation improvements ?

That sounds great! We'll continue to work through what we can in the meantime. Thanks!

I think I have a good handle on this now. I've opened an issue because it does not seem that we can generate Software Catalog info from the data generators - https://github.com/finos/waltz/issues/6933
