FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about api development engagements.
REST or GraphQL?
Public APIs almost always REST + OpenAPI. Internal APIs increasingly tRPC. GraphQL when you have many distinct clients with overlapping needs.
Do you generate SDKs or hand-write them?
Generated from OpenAPI for breadth, hand-tuned for the top 1-2 languages. Best of both.
How do you handle versioning?
Additive-only by default. When breaking changes are unavoidable, dated versions (Stripe-style) with clear deprecation timelines.
