Platform Engineering Team/API Value Stream/As-We-Go-Blog-Notes

A space to drop notes about our work along the way. Including our steps and learnings to hopefully turn into a blog post about the API Platform by the end of the project.

Creating a repository

 * Using Gerrit, I placed a request for the repository.
 * After the repository was created, I cloned it.
 * I then cloned the Service-template-node in the Gerrit repository that was created and pushed to master.

Discovering existing APIs

 * Mostly Mediawiki/Wikitech searches where multiple lists of apis/services exist
 * Codesearch searching under "Wikimedia Services"
 * Differentiating between "service" and "api" is ambiguous on a lot of our documentation
 * Extension APIs can be considered part of ActionAPI although not available on all wikis, we may need a way to distinguish what wikis they are/are not enabled on.
