Product docs that survive the product
How we write and maintain product documentation so it outlives team changes.
#docs#architectureAlso in Persian ↗
Docs are part of the system
If the architecture lives only in someone's head, it leaves with them. Every system we ship includes product docs that are versioned next to the code.
- Decisions are recorded, not remembered.
- Every service documents how to run it locally in one command.
- Docs are reviewed in the same pull request as the code they describe.
