Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

Hi Hacker News! My name is Sagar, I’m working on a startup called Speakeasy - we’re making all APIs self-service. The platform is currently in beta, but we’re independently launching this tool which you can use to generate language-idiomatic, statically-typed TS SDKs from any public OpenAPI schemas. We hope to continue iterating on this to give devs a way to easily generate high fidelity client SDKs for all the major languages. Inspiration for this product is from past experiences struggling with OpenAPI. I was originally optimistic about using the OpenAPI tools to build out our offering,…

Hi HN! We’re excited to share our new code generator that lets you ship high-quality TypeScript SDKs, that your users will love, from your OpenAPI documents. Our ongoing goal is to help you build one SDK that runs anywhere modern JavaScript runs. This includes new runtimes like Deno and Bun in addition to the ever-popular Node.js. Additionally, the popularity of AI has meant server-sent events and file streaming are also commonplace - we wanted to cover these use cases too. This explosion in new runtimes and ways of interacting with APIs shifts cognitive burden on API developers often having…

Hi HN, I’m one of the creators of Keel and we're excited (and nervous in equal measures) to be sharing this. We built Keel on two principles: 1. A backend is much more than just a database. A scalable backend platform should be grounded in engineering best practices and come complete with a full suite of services without having to wire 10 SaaS products together 2. A backend should not be an engineering black box and should be designed from day one to support the entire organisation over time and scale. Keel is a schema driven backend engine. Define your data model, api actions, permissions,…

We built an open-source tool that scans your codebase and generates OpenAPI docs in minutes. Right now it supports Rails, Go, Python, and NodeJS frameworks, and we will keep adding more. It picks up routes, params, request bodies, and models directly from the code and outputs a clean OpenAPI spec you can drop into your workflow.
