RVO Health unifies code documentation with Swimm and Backstage

The problem

RVO Health's documentation was fragmented across teams with no single source of truth, making it impossible to keep current. Developers spent hours searching through scattered sources only to find outdated or incomplete information.

Unified docs accessed by all teams
output
“Developers now have a single place to find reliable information, and non-technical teams have better visibility into engineering processes.”
Reported outcome

Combining Swimm with Backstage gave RVO Health a reliable single source of truth, reducing bottlenecks, accelerating development cycles, and making technical documentation accessible to non-engineering stakeholders.
