Turn siloed markdown files into searchable shared context
With Tech Docs, internal documentation that used to be scattered across repos is now centralized in your OpsLevel developer portal—so context, discoverability, and search are built-in. OpsLevel is the one-stop shop for engineering knowledge you've been missing. Seeing is believing–so tour the new experience below.
Internal docs that work for everyone
For Authors
No new tools. A docs-as-code approach means developers can write docs within their existing text editor and git workflows.
For Consumers
One interface for all service info. From internal docs, to dependencies, to deploys—it's all discoverable in OpsLevel.
For Engineering Leaders
Consistency, quality, and visibility. Verify that every service meets your docs-as-code standards. No spreadsheets or emails required.
Tech Docs FAQ
Documentation as Code (docs-as-code) refers to the philosophy of writing documentation with the same tools as code. It also means doc writers (developers themselves or dedicated technical writers) follow the same workflows as development teams. This approach can be applied to internal and external software documentation. Learn more about docs-as-code here.
You must be storing your internal docs in a git repo that's integrated with OpsLevel in order to use this feature. But our Checks and Campaigns can help you drive this change within your organization—your developers will thank you!
No. Tech Docs is designed strictly for internal docs. Only authenticated users of your OpsLevel instance will be able to access Tech Docs.
External docs solutions, or docs solutions that aren't designed for developers, tend to create silos. When information is siloed like this it often gets forgotten or goes stale.
With Tech Docs, the opposite happens. Your internal docs are centralized and live alongside all the important metadata in your service catalog, like ownership, dependencies, or Service Maturity level. Tech Docs are easily discoverable and searchable by all developers. Tech Docs are more visible to the entire organization, and so better updated and maintained.
