Case Study: RVO Health streamlines documentation and boosts engineering productivity with Swimm

How RVO Health unified documentation with Swimm and Backstage

RVO Health, the largest health company you’ve probably never heard of, needed a better way to manage technical documentation as the engineering organization scaled. Different teams used different documentation practices, making it hard to keep knowledge organized, current, and easy for developers to find. Swimm was brought in to help improve documentation management and code quality, with documentation created in Swimm and organized through Backstage.

By using Swimm’s Backstage plugin to publish docs into TechDocs and Swimm’s Auto-sync to keep documentation aligned with code changes, RVO Health created a reliable single source of truth. The result was faster development with fewer bottlenecks, better collaboration across engineering, product, and business teams, and significantly improved trust in documentation. Swimm also made it easier for developers to write or generate docs as part of their workflow, boosting adoption and documentation quality.
