    JavaScript SDK Design Guide extracted from work and personal experience

  • - Process pitfalls: what choices might run afoul of big companies' security processes, or create unforseen challenges in getting the integration approved outside of the code-world.

    The closest article I've found is https://sdk-design.js.org/ which has some great information at the beginning and end, but is somewhat generic in the middle. I suspect theres some great info buried in one-off technical blog posts at SaaS startups as well.

    Theres also the option of learning from good examples - the obvious choice here being Stripe who are known for their great documentation & SDK design https://stripe.com/docs/development

    Has anyone else found themselves in this position? How did you learn and improve (without having to do it the hard way of pushing bugs to your customers production sites!)? Did you find, or create, any useful resources on building modern browser SDKs?
