Keeping up with the Node-ish ecosystem

The JavaScript ecosystem has evolved significantly, with various runtimes such as TypeScript, Cloudflare Workers, Bun, Deno, Vercel Edge, and Nitro emerging alongside traditional Node environments. This presents new challenges for developers who need to support these platforms. Mux, a video platform, faced issues maintaining its 6-year-old Node SDK due to inconsistencies with TypeScript and lack of support for newer runtimes. To address this, they decided to introduce a major breaking change in the form of Mux-Node version 8, which was generated using Stainless based on their OpenAPI specification. The new SDK offers improved features such as auto-generated code, utilities not represented in the spec, support for non-Node runtimes, and real TypeScript types. A migration tool is also provided to help developers upgrade from 7.x to 8.
