Arriving at Station: The Evolution of Our API Documentation Platform

The development of Vonage API Developer's documentation platform has undergone significant changes since its inception three years ago. Initially built using Ruby on Rails, it was designed to be flexible and adaptable to meet the evolving needs of the company. Over time, the tooling around the platform has expanded to include automated spell checking, internationalization, and API specification checks. However, as the platform grew in complexity, it became clear that a more modular approach was needed. After exploring alternative solutions, the team behind Vonage API Developer discovered Station, a content-agnostic platform that can support various content forms and media. Station is built to provide a flexible and customizable solution for creating text-driven content websites quickly, empowering non-programmers to contribute content in a streamlined fashion. With its open-source nature and Ruby on Rails foundation, Station is poised to become a robust tool for Vonage's documentation needs.
