New Home for Octopus Documentation

Paul Stovell recounts the transition of Octopus Deploy's documentation hosting from Atlassian Confluence, initially managed by QueryFoundry, to a GitHub-based solution following a significant service outage. The documentation, crucial for users, was knocked offline when QueryFoundry experienced a critical network failure, and the lack of recent backups compounded the problem. After an anxious wait and an eventual recovery of the data, Stovell and his team decided against continuing with QueryFoundry due to inadequate communication during the crisis. Inspired by a peer company, they opted to convert their documentation to Markdown and host it via GitHub, integrating it into their website using custom tools they developed. The incident underscored the importance of maintaining up-to-date backups, even for content hosted by third parties.
