To dramatically improve the experience of developing APIs using Protocol Buffers.
Desirable
Currently, developers typically use APIs to allow for communications. Developing these APIs can be a laborious task, with developers stating that it can take up 20% of their development time. Buf streamlines the development process by providing protocol buffers that eliminate a large portion of the code that has to be written.
The company's product has been downloaded by more than one million developers, highlighting how useful this tool can be. It has recently focused on building its paid tool, Buf Schema Registry, with several early customers now testing it out, including major enterprises and public companies.
Buf's competitors include Grafana Labs Inc., and publicly traded Confluent Inc., Elastic NV and HashiCorp Inc. The company plans on using recent funding to focus on hiring more talent, accelerating product development and building up its user base, all in an attempt to ensure they can differentiate themselves from these close competitors.
