The problem

Onboarding takes weeks. Every. Single. Time.

Documentation is in someone's head

The only way to understand the codebase is to ask a senior engineer. When they're on vacation, new hires are stuck.

Static docs go stale in days

Even if you write an onboarding guide, it's outdated within a month. Engineers stop trusting it and just ask questions instead.

The solution

A living guide. That actually lives.

Pushpen analyzes your codebase structure — routes, models, services, dependencies — and generates a comprehensive onboarding guide. Every time you push architectural changes, the guide updates automatically.

What's in the onboarding guide

Project architecture overview with diagrams
Database schema and relationships explained
API endpoints grouped by domain
Authentication and authorization flow
Key services and their responsibilities
Code patterns and conventions
Environment setup and configuration
Common workflows (add feature, fix bug, deploy)
Testing setup and conventions
Troubleshooting common issues
