Docs vs Blog
Documentation serves existing users with reference material, tutorials, and API specs. Blog attracts new users with educational content, comparisons, and thought leadership.
Documentation Content
- Getting started guide (under 5 minutes to first result)
- API reference (auto-generated from OpenAPI spec)
- Code examples in multiple languages
- Changelog and migration guides
Blog Content
- Technical tutorials solving real problems
- Architecture decisions and engineering posts
- Comparison content against alternatives
- Integration guides with popular tools
