Ambassador

Big news: Ambassador is joining Gravitee! We’re proud to announce that Ambassador has been acquired by Gravitee a major step forward for both teams and the communities we serve. With Gravitee’s support, Edge Stack and Blackbird will continue to grow and evolve as part of a broader vision: empowering teams to build, secure, and govern APIs, events, and AI interactions in one unified experience. To our users, customers, and contributors — thank you for being part of the journey so far. We’re just getting started. #API #OpenSource #AI #EventDriven #AmbassadorLabs #Gravitee #Blackbird #EdgeStack

In large orgs, APIs live everywhere—but they’re not always documented. API Sprawl is a real problem, even if you think “na, not for me.” Yes, for you. And our new GitHub integration can help you. Blackbird now scans GitHub repos and auto-generates OpenAPI specs from your existing APIs.   Great for:  ✅ Onboarding legacy code ✅ Centralizing internal APIs ✅ Enabling cross-team discovery Read more in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/gM65Ed-M

The reality of API documentation in 2025... Let's be honest: not every development team starts with perfect OpenAPI specs. Sometimes you inherit undocumented microservices. Sometimes you're moving so fast that documentation becomes secondary. Sometimes, the person who built that critical API left the company months ago. This is exactly why we built Blackbird's automatic spec generation from GitHub code. Instead of forcing teams to change their workflow, we meet developers where they are. Point us at your repository, and we'll generate the OpenAPI specs you need for collaboration, governance, and discovery. The result? Teams can keep moving fast while still getting the benefits of proper API documentation and centralized management. What's your biggest challenge with API documentation?

🎯 Major Update: Blackbird Completes GitHub Integration with Automatic Spec Generation We're excited to announce that the second phase of our GitHub integration is now live. Following our API Discovery launch last month, Blackbird can now generate OpenAPI specifications directly from your existing code. Why this matters for your team: ✅ Document legacy APIs without starting from scratch ✅ Surface undocumented internal services instantly ✅ Bridge the gap between fast development and proper documentation ✅ Maintain GitHub as your single source of truth ✅ Whether your team is design-first or code-first, Blackbird now adapts to your workflow while eliminating API sprawl and improving collaboration. Perfect for teams dealing with inherited codebases, microservices without documentation, or fast-moving development cycles where specs become an afterthought. Ready to clean up your API ecosystem?
