Hi everyone! I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer working with a complicated tech stack, which includes GCP, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, Jenkins, and Spinnaker, among other tools. The issue is that there's a lot of automation and legacy configurations in place, and trying to piece together how everything fits can be really challenging, especially since the original developers were part of a larger team. I'm attempting to reverse engineer some of these setups, but it's becoming quite overwhelming. If anyone has advice, resources, or mentorship to offer from their experiences, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Have you thought about using AI tools to help diagnose any issues? There's a site called kiro.dev that might be useful for troubleshooting. It can help surface problems that might not be immediately obvious. Good luck!
You're definitely not alone in feeling this way! The lack of documentation for legacy setups can create a lot of chaos. If you can, take some time to document whether the legacy apps are still necessary, meeting current goals, and if they could be replaced with newer technologies like machine learning. GCP has a lot of capabilities that might help you get some control over it all! Making gradual improvements can lead to justifying budget increases to tackle the tech mountain ahead. Remember, it's all about making the system more maintainable!
I get that it can feel overwhelming! But first things first, can you pinpoint what exactly is causing the confusion? Are you new to GCP or just not familiar with some of the tools in the stack? It'd help to tackle the specific issues you're facing rather than trying to understand everything at once. Maybe start by following the lifecycle of your app from when you merge to a branch – it could give you some clarity on how things flow together!
