This is something that you need to discuss with your manager or the tech lead on your team if there is one. Tell the manager that you would like to work on "main service" and would appreciate if you were assigned to sprint tickets related to that, once you start working on those tickets explore from there by asking further questions about the things you don't have context for. For a lot of other things you need to ask- > Our team unsurprisingly works on one specific service, which is 90% black box to me because nobody has the time to introduce me to the domain. I am sure atleast one person would be more than willing to do that if you asked, they might even appreciate getting an hour break from their usual grind. > Dedicated devops team handles all infra/CI/CD, and I have no idea how and where the app is deployed, I only know we use k8s and docker for that. Again, you need to ask. As someone committing code to your app, there is no reason for you to not know how and where the app gets deployed even if you are not handling the actual deployments. This is not even optional, someone on your team has to walk you through the process otherwise there is a latent background risk of there being an issue due to not understanding the context of the deploys or not knowing what to do when a change you make breaks something (and it will eventually).
