Original post

Ask HN: SaaS Idea: SDK Generation for API's (OpenAPI / gRPC)

What do you think of an SaaS company that generates client SDK's for your API (Open API / GRPC):You just upload your api spec (OpenAPI.yml / GRPC spec). Pick your output SDK languages Wait for the pipeline to complete and get your SDK's..The SDK's could already be deployed to a dependency manager of the SDK target language...Do you think this would work? Would your company pay for this, if so how much?--Background:I've build and consumed api's. GRPC / OpenAPI / GraphQL... With GRPC the protoc client generating is super nice. However with OpenAPI, openapigenerator requires some tweaking... But worst of all, i have to setup the pipelines to generate the SDK's myself...I think it would be very valuable to build a startup around it. I've already seen gendocu.com trying to build something like this for GRPC. Which I love!
