Docs Straight from the Code: AST-Powered Automation


Mgmt is a cutting-edge, real-time, automation tool designed to be fast, safe, and revolutionary. Our goal wasn't just to replicate legacy tools but to surpass them-- and we believe we've done exactly that. Mgmt is now powering real production workloads, showcasing its potential to redefine what's possible in automation.

Empowering our users starts with great documentation! To achieve this, we aimed to minimize the time spent maintaining our docs while ensuring they stay perfectly in sync with the code. So we developed custom AST parsing code that automatically converts code into a structured data format. We then use a GoHugo templating system to publish it in a polished and user-friendly way.

All of this code is open source, making it available for others to use and benefit from! We'll also show how even a small project could do this.

I'll deliver live demos throughout, ensuring the concepts come to life.

You'll also get a glimpse of how mgmt can revolutionize your workflows-- it might just become your go-to tool for managing documentation pipelines!

For those who want a head start, check out our blog posts. Reading a few before the talk will provide a great background of the topic!
