What developers are saying

Kian Hooshmand
Co-founder at Vocode
So much better than the openapi generators!
Gil Feig
CTO at Merge.dev
We used an alternative SDK generator for years, and customers constantly complained. Since adopting Fern, customers have migrated rapidly to our new SDKs and have been blown away by the quality.
Steve Yazicioglu
Head of Engineering
at Candid Health
Fern sped up new API development by at least 50%.
The bits sped up are the most tedious, annoying parts. 🔥
Ashley Mulligan
Head of Developer Experience
at Flatfile
The Node.js library they produce is idiomatic and very similar to how we’d write it manually: the SDK is resource-based and Fern natively supports union types.
A monumental improvement to the Flatfile developer experience versus the OpenAPI generator.
Andrew Israel
CEO at PropelAuth
I really dislike most autogenerated code, but Fern’s genuinely feels like we have a developer writing it - would highly recommend.
Nikolas Huebecker
Co-founder at Onward
We migrated our API and SDK to them over a weekend. They provide exceptional support!
Joe McKenney
CTO at Dopt
The sleek and modern CLI made integrating Fern into our monorepo’s versioning and publishing workflows trivial.
Sandeep Dinesh
CTO at Mercoa
We use Fern to build our API and UI elements, and couldn’t be happier! End to end type safety and client/server generation gives us the ability to move very quickly.
Even better, we get great SDKs and API docs without any additional work!
Noah Flaherty
CTO at Vellum
We use Fern to autogenerate our Python and Node API clients from our OpenAPI spec. The clients are high quality, easy to update, and the Fern team moves blazing fast on feature requests.

Server-sent events
SDK users get autocompletion for events returned by the API and can traverse through them with a simple `for` loop.
