Automated Documentation

The problem​

Documentation falls behind. Teams write docs once, then the system evolves. Within months, your documentation no longer reflects reality.

Traditional tools force a choice: automate everything (losing business context) or write everything manually (constant maintenance).

The solution​

EventCatalog takes a hybrid approach. Automate what changes often—schemas, specifications, visualizations—while keeping manual control over what doesn't: domains, ownership, and business context.

Teams own their OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specs. EventCatalog pulls these from GitHub, private repos, or schema registries—syncing automatically via CI/CD. Your team then enriches with domains, ownership, and the business context that specs can't capture.

Supported sources include OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Confluent Schema Registry, AWS Glue, and GitHub.

How this can help you​

With EventCatalog, your documentation becomes something teams actually trust. Developers find accurate schemas when they need to understand how a service works. Architects get visualizations that reflect reality, not outdated diagrams.

You don't have to choose between automation and context. Technical details stay current automatically while business knowledge gets captured and preserved alongside it.

New engineers onboard faster because they can trust what they're reading. Architects plan changes with confidence. And you stop spending hours every sprint manually updating docs that nobody reads.
