Overview
Read the Docs is a platform designed to host documentation for software projects, automating the build, versioning, and hosting processes. It supports various documentation tools, including Sphinx, MkDocs, and Jupyter Book, integrating seamlessly with Git workflows. The platform offers features like automatic deploy previews for pull requests, versioned documentation, and private repository support in paid plans. It provides both community (free for open source) and business hosting options, with enterprise plans available for custom needs. The business options add team management, SSO, and support SLAs, making documentation management easier for organizations, from individual open-source contributors to large commercial entities. Read the Docs uses a 'docs as code' approach, embedding documentation within the development lifecycle.
