How many hours have you wasted working off incomplete, out of date or simply missing API documentation? How many times has an unplanned API change broken your code?
At Optic, we help developers collaborate at scale and build better APIs. Optic’s open source tools makes it easy for developers to document API changes, review each other’s API changes during code review, and catch breaking changes before they reach production.
tl;dr It’s version control but for behavior not code. We are taking the really successful ideas from Git / Code Review / CI and applying them to API descriptions and (future) other non-code artifacts.
You work will improve the quality of the APIs we all use daily
Teams rely on Optic to help them build and maintain great APIs for their consumers. In this way, your work at Optic extends beyond direct users, and positively impacts the developers who work with the APIs they publish.
Engineers at Snyk use Optic daily to make the new Snyk API great. Read their engineering blog:
