System and method for automated bi-directional mapping between service specifications

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to being executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
• store a relationship between a first service specification and a second service specification within a database;
• receive an application programming interface (API) call for the second service specification that includes a payload that includes a relationship type;
• verify the relationship type included in the payload corresponds to a relationship type of the relationship between the first service specification and the second service specification stored within the database;
• in response to the relationship type included in the payload corresponding to the relationship type of the relationship between the first service specification and the second service specification stored within the database, verify whether a complimentary relationship exists between the first service specification and the second service specification;
• and
• in response to the complimentary relationship existing between the first service specification and the second service specification, update the first service specification with dependent service details of the relationship between the first service specification and the second service specification.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to being executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to:

• store a relationship between a first service specification and a second service specification within a database;
• receive an application programming interface (API) call for the second service specification that includes a payload that includes a relationship type;
• verify the relationship type included in the payload corresponds to a relationship type of the relationship between the first service specification and the second service specification stored within the database;
• in response to the relationship type included in the payload corresponding to the relationship type of the relationship between the first service specification and the second service specification stored within the database, verify whether a complimentary relationship exists between the first service specification and the second service specification;
• and
• in response to the complimentary relationship existing between the first service specification and the second service specification, update the first service specification with dependent service details of the relationship between the first service specification and the second service specification.
