documentation

Automating technical documentation tied to code changes requires applying docs-as-code practices, using an authoring and review workflow to generate durable artifacts like tutorials and runbooks for new features. This ensures consistent, discoverable documentation.

Maintaining architecture decision records (ADRs) alongside development uses a docs-as-code workflow to publish decisions to designated locations like docs/adr. This preserves context and ensures architecture choices remain discoverable during onboarding.

Creating a runbook for incident response involves documenting maintenance guides and operational workflows triggered by incidents. This captures necessary context and procedures, enabling async collaboration and consistent operations during future disruptions.

Docs-as-code practices support onboarding tutorials and reference materials by applying versioning and review workflows. This ensures documentation artifacts remain durable, discoverable, and synchronized with codebase changes for new team members.

You need to update technical documentation for workflow changes when new features, architecture decisions, or incidents occur. Tying updates to these events maintains durable reference materials and reduces onboarding time for async teams.
