Described embodiments provide systems and methods for using a call chain to identify dependencies among a plurality of microservices. A device intermediary to a plurality of microservices can receive a first request to access a first microservice. The processing of the first request can cause the first microservice to communicate a second request to a second microservice. A first unique identifier can be generated for the first request to the first microservice and the device can establish a call chain for identifying a plurality of requests to a first microservice through a last microservice of the plurality of microservices accessed responsive to the first request. The device can forward the first request including the call chain to the first microservice and the second request including the call chain to the second microservice. The device can identify, via the call chain, that the first microservice depends on the second microservice.
