Summary

In 2024, the collaboration between tech writers and engineers emphasized the importance of making APIs discoverable and well-documented, addressing the challenge of poorly documented partner APIs. The year saw significant developments, such as the introduction of Overlay Specification support compatible with OpenAPI and AsyncAPI, which enhanced the flexibility of API definition files. Bump.sh also launched a free API guides and tutorials website, emphasizing their commitment to API specification evangelism, and introduced the API Explorer to simplify API interactions. New features improved API catalog management, SEO through enhanced sitemaps, multiple SSO connections, and user feedback integration. The company continued its support for open-source projects and made a step towards open-sourcing some of its code, notably with the release of cors-toujours, a lightweight HTTP proxy server. Team growth and community engagement through conferences and quarterly meetings were also highlights, reflecting a balance between remote work and in-person collaboration.
