Company mission
To dramatically improve the experience of developing APIs using Protocol Buffers.
Our take
Typically, developers use APIs to allow for communications. But developing these APIs can be a laborious task, with developers stating that it can take as much as 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. Though the company has competition from the likes of Grafana Labs and HashiCorp, its investment in accelerated development and the building up of its user base should help it stand out in the space.
