Architecting a federated documentation site

Source: interviewintermediate

WHAT IT TESTS: aggregating docs from many repos into one site. OUTLINE: docs-as-code with a manifest, CI publishing artifacts, a build that pulls and merges, unified deploy. RED FLAG: manually copy-pasting docs between repos with no automated aggregation.

WHAT IT TESTS: whether you can design a maintainable multi-source documentation pipeline. ANSWER OUTLINE: keep docs next to their source code (docs-as-code) in each repo; have each repo publish a versioned content artifact via CI; a central build aggregates these artifacts through a manifest or registry, merges navigation, and renders one cohesive site; deploy atomically behind a CDN with previews per change.
