In this issue of our newsletter, we will focus on low-code and no-code APIs. Phil has written some fantastic articles over the last month, and I highly recommend you check out his review of different [no-code and low-code API tools](https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/no-code-low-code-api-solutions/).

Developers can give low-code and no-code tools a harsh dismissal. Some will say tools like this are for start-ups without tech founders or testing out an MVP. I find many of these tools amazing, and they grow with your needs while also automating away grunt work. Sure, they are not suitable for everyone or every situation. A counter to using these tools tends to be scale issues. The reality is that not many places need the scale and customization of FANG-size companies.

### The API Round-Up

Our monthly round-up of articles, news and updates from APIs You Won't Hate and around the web.

### [Supabase](https://supabase.com/?ref=apisyouwonthate.com)

Phil touches on Firebase in his article, a tremendous low-code tool, but have you checked out Supabase, the open-source alternative? I would never pick Supabase based on its no vendor lock-in marketing line; we always lock ourselves into something. However, it has some fantastic features: auto-generated APIs, Auth, Edge Functions, etc. Honestly, I love Supabase and would recommend it again and again.

### [Retool](https://retool.com/products/workflows?ref=apisyouwonthate.com)

You may know Retool as a low-code solution for building admin portals; however, they now have a workflow feature. You can visually create workflows based on any data source, connecting API's and other third-party apps. Retool now offers many low-code solutions, not just an admin portal builder anymore.

### [n8n](https://n8n.io/?ref=apisyouwonthate.com)

An open-source node-based workflow automation tool. Users can automate tasks and integrate various applications and services using a visual workflow editor. n8n has a tone of features, can connect to almost anything and has excellent community support.

### [Appwrite](https://appwrite.io/?ref=apisyouwonthate.com)

Another fantastic low-code tool like Supabase is Appwrite, an open-source tool that allows you to build backends quickly. It gives you databases, authentication, storage and more. It helps you create REST, Graph and real-time APIs for connecting to your server. Honestly, why build anything when you can just use Appwrite?

Strap in for a great read. Phil gives a breakdown of some great low-code and no-code tools. Covering Headless CMSs and no-code Application Platforms and then moving on to low-code tools like AWS Amplify, Strapi and Firebase. It is a fantastic dive into some of the best tools in the space available. 

### [Utilize AI for API Governance with LintGPT](https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/ai-powered-api-linting-with-optic/)

Phil walks us through the latest tool from Optic, LintGPT. Linting with style guides is a great way to keep your API spec in shape. With LintGPT, you can define powerful rules by giving it human readable prompts instead of writing long, messy rules yourself.

### [🎙️ Kiota: Microsoft's solution for managing SDK codegen for an API with 20,000 endpoints](https://apisyouwonthate.com/podcast/microsoft-kiota-graph-api-darrel-miller-vincent-biret/) 

On this episode of the podcast, Phil has a chat with Darrel Miller and Vincent Biret from Microsoft's Graph API team. On this episode of the podcast, we discuss Kiota, Microsoft's API-wrangling toolset which was born from a need to manage 20,000 endpoints on their Graph API's v1 endpoint.
