Right before adopting Speakeasy, SDK maintenance was getting out of control. We had one developer spending at least 5 hours/week generating new SDKs for every API release. And now that mental load is just gone.

Each tool shows its mix: confirmed (a case study, a press release), observed (the vendor’s customer page), signal (a job post, the weakest proof).
