In a world where every project requires clear and up-to-date documentation, solutions have emerged that simply must work without unnecessary hassle. Diplodoc is one such platform that positions itself as a simple yet powerful tool for technical documentation in the Docs as Code concept. Yes, you read correctly: everything that was previously considered complex can now be done at the level of regular code.
The platform is aimed at teams of any size. Small groups can start quickly, large groups can scale without headaches. The main thing is that it is made with open source code, that is, everything is under control, no one is holding you by the throat. You can look within, change, improve - and even help creators become better.
When you start using Diplodoc, the first thing that catches your eye is its convenience. No cumbersome interfaces, no clue where to click. Documentation is created directly in Markdown - the very format that everyone knows, loves (or at least tolerates). This means that you spend time not on design, but on content. But that is precisely what is important.
Documents are assembled instantly. Checking, verification, posting - everything is automated, and at the same time easily integrated into existing CICD processes. There is no binding to a specific provider or stack. It's simple: I wrote a file and got a live page. Or almost immediately, because the speed of work here is really high. Not a single slowdown, not a single delay.
Integration with GitHub? Yes, she is. Complete, end-to-end. Your project is stored in the repository as regular code. Each commit is an update to the documentation. Version control, change control, rollbacks - everything works without extra effort. This approach has already become the norm for many teams, but not every service can do it so cleanly.
The platform supports OpenAPI out of the box. That is, if you have an API, it can be automatically converted into documentation. No need to spend hours on manual entry. Generation from a single source is the key feature. Once you write it, all the rest of the content appears on its own. The system supports variables, customization, complex structure - everything that is needed for serious products.
Another important advantage is the built-in search. No additional solutions, no third-party services. The user can find the information they need in seconds. It's not about hope, it's out there somewhere. It's about accuracy and speed. Especially when the documentation grew to several dozen pages.
It may seem strange, but even such giants as Double, Yandex Cloud, YDB and CatBoost entrusted their documentation to Diplodoc. Their products are available in open source projects. This means that the platform has been tested in practice. It works, it's reliable, it can handle the load.
Want to understand how it works? There are two ways. The first one is independent. Create your project, publish it, see how everything comes together. The second is to contact the team. Discuss the pilot project, talk about your tasks. They will help you tailor the platform to your team or product.
Technically, everything is simple. The server part is built on Node. js, client-server architecture. Such solutions can easily be scaled horizontally if necessary. Documents can be updated automatically or manually, with the participation of an administrator. Full control - always.
Docs as Code is an approach in which documentation is stored as code: in a repository, with version control, via CICD. This allows the documentation to be as stable as the code itself. And also - integrate it into the development process without wasting time.
Most likely not directly, because integration with GitHub is the basis of the platform. But since it is open source, perhaps someone will create other providers for Git systems. For now, everything is built around GitHub.
The platform can take data (for example, an API specification) and automatically generate documentation. This saves time, especially when interfaces change frequently. Everything is done on the basis of one record - no need to duplicate information.
Yes, of course. You can create documents of any complexity. There is support for variables, customization of appearance, work with several sections. Suitable even for products with many functions and users.
The source code is posted on GitHub. There you can see how the platform works, help in development, find errors or add a feature.
In general, if you are tired of long processes, unclear design and constant manual work, try Diplodoc. Maybe this is exactly what your team has been needing for a long time. Or maybe just the perfect way to start doing documentation right.
