Welcome to the Byte8 docs hub

This is the new front door for every Byte8 product's documentation. One domain (docs.byte8.io), one search box (powered by Algolia DocSearch), one place to land.

What's here​

  • Platform products — Pulsar (monitoring), Orbit (deployment), Horizon (MCP gateway), Ledger (accounting connector chassis). Each has its own deep docs site reachable from the homepage card.
  • Magento extensions — Xero, Sage, FreeAgent, VAT Validator, PingBell, Pre-Order, SEO Suite, Stock Radar. Composer install + a few admin clicks; the docs cover the install + the per-event behaviour.
  • Announcements — this very blog. Cross-product news, product launches, release roundups.

How search works​

Use ⌘K (or click the search bar in the navbar) to search across every product's docs in one go. Results are categorised by product so you can jump from "Pulsar → HTTP checks" to "Orbit → Zero-downtime overview" without losing context.

Search is powered by Algolia DocSearch, free for open documentation. It crawls docs.byte8.io/* on a schedule and keeps the index fresh as we ship new pages.

What's coming​

  • Comparison guides — "Pulsar vs full-fat APM", "Which accounting connector for my country?", that kind of thing.
  • "Which product do I need?" wizard — a short flow that asks about your stack and points you at the right starting place.
  • API hub — a unified view of every product's GraphQL schema, OpenAPI spec, and Personal Access Token guide.
