Editorial Policy

Mission

ZenDevy publishes decision-level content — one step above tutorials, one step below academic papers. We focus not on "how to use this technology" but on "when, why, and with what trade-offs you should choose it."

Topics

• Architecture — Distributed system design, data modeling, development practice patterns
• SaaS · Cloud — Hosting, database, and monitoring tool comparisons with cost analysis
• AI · LLM — LLM production deployment, cost optimization, pipeline design
• Tech — Opinionated essays on technology trends and engineering judgment

Quality Standards

Every article meets these 10 criteria:

1. Target audience is stated at the top
2. Specific dates, years, and snapshot timestamps replace vague terms like "recently"
3. TL;DR enables 10-second scanning
4. 3 to 6 structured Key Takeaways
5. At least 3 internal links to related articles
6. Claims are backed by official docs, benchmarks, or source links
7. Code snippets are runnable
8. A "what to avoid" section is always included
9. At least 1 diagram or comparison table
10. Last verified date (updatedAt) is maintained

AI-Assisted Writing Policy

AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) may be used to assist with first drafts. However, all articles are rewritten by a human for at least 50% of tone, examples, and data. AI-generated text is never published verbatim. Marketing adjectives ("powerful", "seamless", "cutting-edge"), unquantified comparisons ("much faster"), and generic introductions ("software development is rapidly changing") are removed during editing.

Attribution

Informational topics (Architecture, SaaS · Cloud, AI · LLM) are published under the ZenDevy Editorial byline. Only Tech opinion pieces carry individual author names.
