Lessons from building an automated SDK pipeline

This post details the transition to using OpenAPI schemas to automatically generate SDKs for TypeScript, Go, and Python. The previous manual maintenance process was time-consuming and led to inconsistencies. The new approach uses Stainless, an SDK generation platform, to map OpenAPI schemas to SDK methods, ensuring language-agnostic generation, uniform namespace and method construction, and enabling linting rules (e.g., for API token authentication and description formatting) to enforce API design conventions during the CI process.
