Case Study: Coast improves developer experience with Slab

How Coast Improves the Developer Experience with Slab

Coast, a New York-based fintech company, needed a better way to document engineering knowledge as it scaled. The team believed in writing things down, but Google Docs, an in-house GitHub-based system, and Confluence made documentation hard to create, search, and organize, hurting the developer experience.

Slab solved the problem by letting Coast import its existing Markdown documentation quickly into a structured knowledge base with strong search, easy formatting, and seamless SSO. Coast migrated in a few hours, saved about two engineering days and roughly $2,000, and now uses Slab as its central place for technical docs, decisions, postmortems, and run books, with noticeably less documentation frustration and better team engagement.
