Documentation Improvement Questionnaire

This questionnaire is designed to gather detailed feedback from both frontend and backend developers to help us improve the clarity, accuracy, and completeness of our documentation. Your insights are invaluable!

Please answer as thoroughly as possible. If a question doesn't apply to your area of expertise, feel free to indicate that.

I. General Documentation Feedback

  1. Overall Clarity & Completeness:

    • On a scale of 1-5 (1 = very unclear/incomplete, 5 = very clear/complete), how would you rate the overall documentation?
    • What are the most significant areas where the documentation is unclear or incomplete?
    • Are there any topics you feel are entirely missing from the documentation?

  2. Accuracy:

    • Have you encountered any information in the documentation that is outdated or incorrect? If so, please provide specific examples.
    • Are code examples (e.g., Docker commands, YAML snippets) accurate and up-to-date?

  3. Navigation & Search:

    • Is it easy to find the information you're looking for within the documentation?
    • Do you have any suggestions for improving the navigation structure or search functionality?

  4. Suggestions for New Topics:

    • What new topics or guides would be most beneficial to add to the documentation? (e.g., advanced deployment strategies, CI/CD integration, specific API usage examples).

    • Are there any nuances or edge cases regarding permissions that should be documented?

  3. Multi-tenancy and Isolation:

    • Is the explanation of multi-tenancy and isolation clear, especially for agencies or resellers?
    • Are there any architectural details that would be helpful to include here (e.g., how isolation is technically achieved)?

D. Deploying & Managing Containers (deployments.mdx)

  1. Launching a Container:

    • Are the 5 steps for "Launching a Container" accurate and easy to follow?
    • Are there any common pitfalls or advanced configurations that should be mentioned during deployment?

  2. Real-time Logs and Metrics:

    • Is the description of real-time logs and metrics sufficient?
    • What specific metrics are available, and how can users interpret them effectively?

E. Docker Image Management (docker.mdx)

  1. Build and Push:

    • Are the docker build, docker login, and docker push commands correctly demonstrated?
    • Are there any specific Helios-related considerations when building or pushing Docker images (e.g., base images, specific registries)?

  2. Common Docker Issues:

    • Are the listed "Common Docker Issues" (access denied, image not found) the most frequent ones users encounter?
    • Are there other common Docker-related issues that should be added, along with their solutions?

F. Security, Secrets & Data (security.mdx)

  1. Managing Secrets:

    • Are the steps for managing secrets clear?
    • Is the warning about not committing secrets to Git prominent enough?
    • Are there any best practices for secret rotation or management that should be included?

  2. Referencing Secrets in Deployments:

    • Is the explanation for referencing secrets in both UI and YAML clear?
    • Is the YAML example accurate and representative of how secrets are injected?

  3. Data Persistence and Encryption:

    • Is the explanation of persistent storage, encryption at rest, and encryption in transit clear and accurate?
