FAQPage Schema
How do I write technical documentation that stays aligned with my source code?

To write technical documentation aligned with source code, keep docs in proximity to the repository and include working examples. This ensures API docs, architecture docs, and runbooks remain maintainable and accurately reflect system design.

What is the best way to create API docs with endpoint references and usage examples?

The best way to create API docs is generating endpoint references with clear usage notes and working examples. This produces concise, usable technical documentation that engineering teams can rely on for accurate implementation.

How do I structure architecture docs for component interactions and data flows?

Structure architecture docs by mapping system design, data flows, and component interactions. This technical documentation clarifies complex software architecture across engineering teams, ensuring maintainable and usable system references.

Can I generate runbooks for deployment and on-call operational procedures?

Yes, you can generate runbooks for deployment and on-call operational procedures. This technical documentation provides concise, usable guides that outline operational tasks, ensuring engineering teams can reliably execute deployment procedures.

When do I need to maintain technical documentation in the repository?

You need to maintain technical documentation in the repository when requiring code alignment and proximity to the source. Keeping docs near the source ensures API docs, architecture docs, and runbooks remain accurate and maintainable.
