Introduction to Doctave

Doctave is a platform for writing and publishing technical documentation using a docs-as-code workflow.

We believe that docs-as-code doesn't have to mean weeks or months of customizing static site generators. We give you a modern, fully-featured documentation site with OpenAPI support, powerful search, and many other integrations out of the box, without having to spend time on undifferentiated DocOps.

You get the workflow benefits or docs-as-code, popular among engineering teams, with the convenience of managed documentation platform.
