Documentation About Documentation Documentation 10 Learn how to create, maintain, and publish documentation for the developer platform.

Welcome to the meta-documentation! This section explains how our documentation platform works and guides you through the technicalWriter role.

What is a Technical Writer?

A Technical Writer is responsible for creating, maintaining, and publishing the developer platform documentation. This includes:

  • Writing and updating content in Markdown
  • Creating architecture diagrams with LikeC4
  • Testing locally before committing
  • Following the CI/CD pipeline to production

Documentation Platform Architecture

Our documentation is built on a modern stack:

  • Hugo with the Docsy theme for static site generation
  • LikeC4 for architecture visualization
  • Taskfile for local development automation
  • GitHub Actions for continuous testing
  • Edge deployment for hosting
