Building a Modern SDK System From Scratch
After 15 years in API development, I’ve discovered that great developer experiences hinge on impeccable documentation and robust SDKs. At Embed Workflow, we’re crafting APIs that developers can seamlessly integrate, placing a premium on:
- Rock-solid, accurate API documentation.
- SDKs in multiple programming languages (starting with TypeScript, Ruby, and Python).
- Working code examples that enhance usability.
To ensure our documentation keeps pace with our API, we’ve implemented a system where everything generates from a single source of truth. Here’s what we achieved:
- Zero documentation drift since we generate docs directly from our OpenAPI file.
- Consistent SDK experience across all languages.
- Future-proofing against AI advancements with a machine-readable OpenAPI spec.
This foundational work sets the stage for innovative AI projects ahead.
