Unified RAG over API docs, architecture wikis, and runbooks to accelerate developer onboarding.
Engineering Documentation RAG for Developer Onboarding
Unified RAG over API docs, architecture wikis, and runbooks to accelerate developer onboarding.
Founder note: this is written to be practical. We focus on what we learned in delivery, what changed for the team, and what results held up after rollout.
The Real Problem
1. New engineers took 6 weeks to become productive
2. Internal Slack questions repeated the same topics
3. Docs were stale and duplicated across tools
4. API references lacked contextual examples
What We Actually Changed
Built a developer-facing RAG assistant indexing live docs and code examples with source links, integrated into Slack and the internal portal.
TOOLS AND METHODS USED
Delivery Journey
Source Integration
Doc connectors, indexing pipeline
RAG Build
Slack bot, web UI, citations
Rollout
Team-wide launch, feedback loop
What Improved
New hires ask the assistant instead of pinging seniors. Onboarding is faster and our docs finally stay in sync.
