Case Study: Calendly improves API consistency and developer experience with Stoplight

How Calendly Wins with Design-First APIs

Calendly, a scheduling platform based in Atlanta, was building a next-generation API platform while moving from a monolithic architecture to a service-oriented one. The company had many internal APIs but only a limited set available to public customers, and it needed a clearer strategy for making the platform more flexible, extensible, and easier to use.

Calendly used Stoplight to support a design-first API process, using the visual editor, Projects, GitHub, and JIRA to create, review, and publish OpenAPI designs. Stoplight helped the team collaborate on API documentation before release and automatically publish updated documentation, leading to higher-quality implementation, consistency, governance, and documentation that stays current.
