MagicBell is on a mission to empower all product teams to build a relevant notification experience for their users. They do this by making integration with their API easy, via their SDKs and developer documentation. It wasn’t until they came across liblab that they realized they could dedicate far fewer resources (29%) and still provide world-class SDKs to all their customers.

After trying a few different generators, we found liblab to be the most promising due to their superior code quality. The liblab team even helped us write customizations enabled by their solution to provide a more elegant solution than we had hoped for.

Hana Mohan - CEO, MagicBell

By using liblab, MagicBell:

• Produced SDKs across 4 languages for their upcoming V2 API launch
• Enhanced their existing API reference documentation with SDK code snippets
• Started leveraging SDKs internally to enhance developer productivity

From very early on MagicBell invested in SDKs for its API, knowing that providing a great developer experience when integrating with its API was crucial for its business to succeed. Because of this, MagicBell has always been at the forefront of providing great API reference documentation and SDKs to their customers.

However, this was not without great cost. With a lean engineering organization, providing these SDKs and API documentation took up significant capacity from their devs, diluting the time they could focus on their core product. Luckily Hana, MagicBell’s CEO came across an article from a well-known developer organization in Europe that had a list of different API generators that could potentially give MagicBell’s developer team its precious time back.

After trying several of the options listed in the article, Hana asked her team to try out liblab as it seemed the most promising. Not only did liblab’s proof of concept with the team prove to be fruitful, but it’s customizations encouraged them to simplify their authentication process. As a result, MagicBell was able to take back the time it once spent on building and maintaining SDKs, improving its developer productivity by 29%
