Congratulations to the Stainless team on a fantastic launch! I'm one of the co founders of Speakeasy (https://www.speakeasyapi.dev/). We do similar things in the SDK space and some other things too.
I resonate with a lot of what is said in the comments. Last mile API tooling is underrated and most companies don't have the deep API platform expertise to build from scratch. The OSS options in the space proved SDK generation could be done but the actual product that you got in hand still needed a lot of work to be enterprise ready. The code was poor quality, wasn't customisable and there was no change management story. We're seeing a new wave of work in this space that's making api platform engineering much more accessible.
The API devex story starts with SDK creation and maintenance but there is a lot more to come!

Hey there ! I'm Sagar, one of the co-founders at Speakeasy. We build tools to enhance the API developer experience. This primarily includes production-quality automatically-generated interfaces for companies' APIs such as SDKs and Terraform providers. Our mission is to assist teams in distributing their APIs to developers while handling the complex aspects.
We're a small, highly autonomous team looking for contributors to drive major projects from inception through delivery and iteration, working closely with our customers and community. If you're interested in developer-focused UX building with code generation, linters, parsers, LLMs you might find our work engaging. Although our primary languages are TypeScript and GoLang, our code gen product spans across more than eight languages — we're truly polyglots! As we scale rapidly alongside our customers, we're eager for individuals excited about delivering products that could impact millions of developers.

Completely agree. Keeping the openapi spec as tightly coupled to types in code builds a single source truth from your development to your deployment

Its a spicy time in IAC. Here is quick guide on how to leverage your existing terraform provider to unlock the Pulumi ecosystem using the Terraform Bridge.

I'm working on a company https://speakeasyapi.dev/ with the goal of helping companies in this ecosystem get great production quality client sdks, terraform providers, cli(s) and all the developer surfaces you may want supported for our API. We also manage the spec and publishing workflow for you so all you have to do is build your API and we'll do the rest.
Feel free to email me at [email protected] or join our slack (https://join.slack.com/t/speakeasy-dev/shared_invite/zt-1cwb...) . We're in open beta and working with a few great companies already and we'd be happy for you to try out the platform for free!

Disclosure: I'm a cofounder of this startup
We've been building client sdks as a service at Speakeasy (https://www.speakeasyapi.dev/). API developer experience today in REST struggles because the openapi generators are buggy and generate machine-readable stubs rather than ergonomic SDKs. We ended up building a new generator from ground up focused on ensuring we could capture idiomatic features specific to each languages. For API consumers our goal is to provide a best in class dev ex and taking the burden off of having to rewrite common boilerplate like pagination and retries. For API producers you get to focus on building your API and not have to worry about table stakes features for your users. We started a closed beta programme recently. Shoot me a message at [email protected] or come chat with us on slack if you want to early access!

We're building a product to tackle the time to value problem for API integration at Speakeasy (speakeasyapi.dev) . This is the onboarding problem you described but specifically for APIs which have a whole set of special needs and table stakes like dev portals with request logs, client sdks, usage limits, key rotation etc. Lots of companies building partner and public APIs often spend weeks if not months getting new partners to make a successful API call and move the integration into production. We've seen that only the biggest API as product companies have the time to invest in this internally by building out API platform teams. You still need a lot of this dev ex even if you a smaller company so usage of your API grows quickly. If what you are doing is API centric shoot me a note and happy to have you test out the product or just jam on ideas :)

Come join us on Slack if you have any questions on using the SDKs ! https://join.slack.com/t/speakeasy-dev/shared_invite/zt-1df0...

Client SDKs are a great way to provide a normalised and predictable experience for customers but we're also working on tools for API Producers to self service all parts of the API integration experience. Check out our website! https://www.speakeasyapi.dev/.
On the Speakeasy branded classes. We got rid of that some time ago based on customer feedback. Check out our new TS generator https://www.speakeasyapi.dev/post/how-we-built-universal-ts
