liblab SDKs Boost Doppler's Developer Adoption by 178% in 6 Months

| 4 min

Doppler is a leading cloud-based secrets management platform. Secrets, which are passwords used for code and infrastructure, typically authenticate access to databases and SaaS services. Offering a robust API is essential to Doppler's business, as it enables developers to securely manage, orchestrate, and govern secrets at scale.

Your Python SDK made my entire experience of app deployment and configuration so much easier. Before, I literally suffered every time I had to setup a new environment but now I just know the apps configuration will be seamless. Thank you so much for that

By using liblab, Doppler:

  • Drove an increase of 178% in developer adoption within 6 months
  • Produced Python & TypeScript SDKs (most popular languages for Doppler customers)
  • By automating SDK development: APIs, Documentation, & SDKs evolved synchronously
  • Streamlined their customers' API integration process

As Doppler's user base grew, so did the demand for high-quality SDKs that would enable customers to interact seamlessly with their API. Doppler needed to provide SDKs that supported multiple programming languages, specifically Python and JavaScript/TypeScript, which were the primary languages used by their customers. However, manually developing and maintaining these SDKs posed a significant challenge because Doppler's engineering team needed a solution that would allow them to provide idiomatic SDKs without diverting focus from their core product development.

To address this challenge, Doppler partnered with liblab, a company specializing in auto-generating high quality SDKs. By leveraging liblab’s capabilities, Doppler was able to generate SDKs directly from their OpenAPI specification. This partnership streamlined the development process, allowing Doppler to deliver SDKs efficiently and at scale. liblab’s automation ensured that these SDKs were always up-to-date with Doppler’s evolving API, reducing the burden on their engineering team.

By partnering with LibLab, Doppler has been able to deliver high-quality SDKs with minimal engineering effort, generating new versions within minutes whenever the API evolves. This collaboration has enhanced customer satisfaction and streamlined the API integration process, allowing Doppler to focus on what they do best—delivering world-class secrets management solutions.
