1. A method of service group discovery that groups microservices together that perform a logically identifiable application flow comprising:
establishing a microservice architecture application including a plurality of services, the plurality of services are each an application program interface (API) performing a piecemeal function of an overall application function, the plurality of services operating in a data plane and are observed and managed by a control plane; and
identifying a first service group of the plurality of services by:
providing a first input into a first service of the plurality of services;
tracking, by the control plane via data plane outputs, the first input as data connected to the first input traverses a subset of services of the plurality of services until the subset of services generate a terminal output; and
recording, by the control plane, each of the subset of services traversed by data connected to the first input to the first service group.
