The Importance of Accurate Documentation
Accurate documentation is essential for developers and operations teams, as it helps maintain a clear understanding of the systems in place. Traditionally, documentation tends to lag behind the actual state of systems, leading to misalignment and potential errors. By generating documentation directly from the source code and infrastructure, real-time accuracy can be ensured, allowing teams to have an up-to-date reference point. This approach minimizes the risks associated with outdated documentation and creates a reliable foundation for team collaboration.
