So far, you've learned how to create static documentation based on a GraphQL API locally, but the next step would be to integrate this into your CI/CD and deploy this documentation on a server. Combining with your CI/CD can be done by adding the command to run SpectaQL to your deployment steps. At the same time, StepZen can be integrated with Netlify to deploy the static documentation. You can find the repository with the complete source code for this post here.

SpectaQL was originally forked from a project called DociQL to add some enhancements there. And DociQL was originally forked from a project called Spectacle to make it work with GraphQL. And (finally) Spectacle was designed to work with Swagger/OpenAPI. Swagger/OpenAPI is a specification designed to help standardize the description of REST APIs with many routes, and uses JSON Schema as the way to define Data Types/Models.
