whoowns app is a bot for Slack designed to help both technical and non-technical folks answer the question who owns this? It works by scanning each repositories CODEOWNERS file to construct a detailed service catalog. This enables users to easily query and determine who is responsible for specific parts of a codebase, for both monoliths and microservices. The bot aims to simplify ownership identification, particularly in large or dynamically changing teams, thereby enhancing collaboration and efficiency in software development processes.

Setup is without CC and takes 2 minutes

The questions you can now answer straight in Slack

• Who's oncall for this service?
• Which team owns X?
• What else is this service known as? (naming is hard!)
• What channel should I go to to ask a question?
• What is service X?
• Where can I find the link to the runbooks?

Responses works for both monoliths. & microservices
