Apiary.io, a pioneering platform in API documentation since 2011, is closing down following its acquisition by Oracle in 2017, which has been transitioning users to Oracle Cloud—a service criticized for its complexity and cost transparency. Originally known for introducing the Markdown-based API Blueprint format and tools like Dredd and Gavel, Apiary played a key role in the API Design-first workflow but eventually supported the more widely adopted OpenAPI format. As Apiary plans to shut down fully by September 2025, Bump.sh emerges as a recommended successor, offering seamless Git integrations, support for OpenAPI v3.1, and additional features like AsyncAPI and Webhooks, thus providing a straightforward, user-friendly solution for API documentation needs. Bump.sh also offers tools for converting and upgrading API documentation from Apiary, ensuring a smooth transition for users.
