Our take
Currently, developers typically use APIs to allow for communications. But 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. Though the company has competition from the likes of Grafana Labs and HashiCorp, it has invested funding in hiring, accelerated development and the building up of its user base - which should help it stand out in the space.
