Summary
Ably has developed a new wiki system for internal use due to issues with GitHub Wiki functionality. They chose Sinatra as their web application framework and Jekyll to convert markdown files into static sites. Simple-Jekyll-Search was used for page searching, Auth0 for authentication, and Heroku for hosting. The final product is a private, searchable wiki hosted on Ably's own site.
