Stainless Docs Platform is now available in early access
Blog post from Stainless
Stainless, renowned for its SDK generation for leading API companies, has introduced the Stainless Docs Platform, an open-source tool built on Astro to create customizable, high-quality documentation sites. Aimed at addressing common API documentation challenges, it allows developers to unify REST API, SDK, and hand-written documentation in a single tool, synchronizing them with an OpenAPI spec for seamless updates. The platform offers modern UX features, AI integrations, and the flexibility to customize and deploy anywhere, leveraging the expertise of the team behind Stripe's API reference docs. With support for Markdown and other formats, the platform facilitates the creation of comprehensive, maintainable documentation that can be managed via GitHub and hosted on Cloudflare's network for robust performance. Developers can also self-host or use server-side rendering with prebuilt adapters for various platforms, ensuring that documentation remains fast and accessible globally. Stainless is inviting early access users to refine the platform before its full release, anticipating significant changes based on user feedback.
