Self-Maintaining APIs
apinae.dev enables API vendors to ship customer migrations alongside every SDK release. Instead of leaving developers with release notes and manual upgrades, each change arrives ready for review in their codebase.
Why this category needs to exist
Every API update changes two codebases: the vendor's and the customer's. Today, vendors usually ship only one of those changes. Our August 2026 research measures the resulting integration drift across 32 vendor SDKs.
78.6%

Free migration packs
We occasionally publish practical migration packs when the ecosystem needs help with an important API transition. They are useful resources—not the product.
