Docs, Demos and Developer Experience
summary
Ably shows a live interactive docs system that combines runnable samples, tutorials and generated specs to speed onboarding and reduce support. The demo is a live interactive demo that uses Ably channels and rewind with a right‑hand VJS panel that updates play‑by‑play, pulls example data from an Airtable-backed sample via REST, and links directly to tutorials and AsyncAPI docs. A small DevRel/product team (about five DevRel and three product engineers) builds and maintains the labs repos and it’s production‑used.
