CI CD and SDLC

We know continuous integration, deployment and testing is a critical part of a healthy software development lifecycle (SDLC). The exact process and tooling will depend on the team and organization, and documenting it for everyone is critical to onboarding new members and making sure teams can efficiently bring what they build to production. Use cases include:

Mapping out deployment pipelines
Documenting special processes like migrations and rollbacks
Dev environments and tooling diagrams

Eraser's simple UI is easy to learn, and our keyboard shortcuts, icon library, advanced diagramming tools, and rich notepad make it an excellent tool for documenting your entire SDLC.

Dev Env Documentation

The dev environment is an often overlooked but critical part of an organization's infrastructure. Knowing what dataset, data stores, and services are used, how to run and test services locally, and how to troubleshoot are critical parts for getting a team up and running quickly. With Eraser, you can easily embed diagrams into your How To and Getting Started guides, making it easy to create, maintain and update concise documentation.
