Method and system for implementing application lineage metadata and registration

A system for implementing application lineage metadata and registration, the system comprising:

• a memory component that stores and manages code;
• an interactive interface that communicates with a user via a communication network;
• and
• a computer processor coupled to the memory component and the interactive interface and further configured to perform the steps of:
• initiating a build process for code;
• scanning the code for one or more annotation markers;
• identifying a corresponding content for each annotation marker;
• automatically generating registry information that identifies application lineage data associated with one or more assets or services of an ecosystem;
• maintaining and storing the registry information in the memory component;
• generating analytics based on the registry information;
• and
• providing, via the interactive interface, visualization data that graphically depicts the application lineage data.
