Summary

At Redocly, the adoption of a docs-as-code approach is championed for optimizing the developer experience, particularly for API producers, by treating documentation with the same rigor as code. This method offers several advantages, including the convenience of Markdown for easily formatting text across various documentation tools without needing complex editing solutions. The integration with GitHub streamlines the review and preview process through a structured workflow involving branches, pull requests, and live previews, which facilitates enterprise-level editorial reviews. Additionally, using Git for source control provides a comprehensive history of changes, enabling transparent collaboration and simultaneous contributions from multiple team members, thus enhancing the integration and collaboration between documentation writers and developer teams.
