Architecture

This service was scaffolded using the Application Migration Factory Backstage template.

Deployment flow:

1. Source cloned from https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic

2. Catalog entity and CI workflows overlaid by Backstage

3. The Watcher scanned the repository and injected OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation via Kustomize overlay

4. ArgoCD Application created targeting the demo-apps namespace

5. ArgoCD continuously syncs from the main branch

ArgoCD sync path: overlays/otel

Development Workflow

git clone https://gitea.kyndemo.live/validate/petclinic-demo-jonathan-scaf-2.git
cd petclinic-demo-jonathan-scaf-2
# make changes, then:
git add . && git commit -m "your change" && git push origin main

ArgoCD monitors the repository and automatically syncs changes to the demo-apps namespace.

Rollback

To roll back to a previous version:

1. Open the ArgoCD UI
2. Click History and Rollback
3. Select the desired revision and click Rollback

Alternatively, revert the commit in Git and push — ArgoCD will auto-sync the rollback.

Observability
