Description

The current swagger yaml file grows every day and its hard to work with.

The following pain points exist:

  • too large (editor gets laggy)
  • everything is in one file (splitting failed the last time we tried)
  • failures can be overlooked because it contains a lot of duplications

the issue is just a placeholder and could grow overtime, we need to find a way how we could fix the above issues.

Research direction

Start by locating the current Swagger YAML file and reviewing how the API specification is generated or validated. Investigate the previous failed attempt to split the specification, then define a maintainable approach that addresses file size, duplication, editor performance, and validation failures. Done means the specification is easier to manage without overlooking errors.
