From prototype to Postman acquisition
How we helped liblab build production-ready SDK generation technology that transforms API consumption for millions of developers.
The Challenge
liblab had a bold vision: make SDK generation effortless for any API. Their prototype showed promise, but turning that into production-ready technology that could serve enterprise customers required a complete rebuild. They needed a team that could move fast, own the technical execution, and help them reach product-market fit before the window closed.
What We Built
Core SDK Generator
Completely rewrote the SDK generation engine from the ground up. New architecture. Better design. Built to scale. The result: a stable, production-ready system that transforms any API spec or Postman Collection into fully functioning SDKs across Java, TypeScript, Python, C#, PHP, Go, and Terraform.
Infrastructure & Automation
Set up the entire release pipeline and infrastructure that made frequent product updates possible. Fast iterations became the norm, not the exception.
Quality at Scale
Built comprehensive testing across the entire pipeline: End-to-end tests for generated SDKs, snapshot testing for consistency, full product pipeline testing, and performance monitoring with automatic alerts. When you're generating code for other developers, quality isn't optional.
Integration with Postman
The work that mattered most came last. Rigorous integration and testing to ensure liblab could handle Postman Collections with over 98% build success rate -the benchmark that made the acquisition possible.
How We Worked
Technical Leadership
We didn't just write code. We shaped technical decisions, mentored team members, and established engineering practices that became the foundation of liblab's culture.
Ownership & Speed
From day one, we took full ownership of our domains. Fast delivery wasn't about cutting corners—it was about making the right technical decisions and moving with confidence.
The Launch Moments
Shipped liblab's first public SDK generator launch, delivered the Product Hunt launch that put liblab on the map, and completed the pre-acquisition Postman integration that sealed the deal.
The Outcome
November 2025: Postman acquired liblab, bringing automated SDK generation to over 40 million developers worldwide. What started as a prototype became technology that Postman's CEO described as completing the loop between API producers and consumers. A natural extension of their platform. Built to last. The acquisition wasn't just an exit—it validated two and a half years of technical decisions, late nights, and uncompromising focus on quality.
