September 2025 (2025-09) focused on delivering a new ConnectRPC Gosimple Plugin Integration within the bufbuild/plugins repository, paired with build and configuration scaffolding to support reliable, multi-language code generation. The primary deliverable is a feature that enables generating client and server stubs for connectrpc/gosimple (v1.19.0) using the 'simple' option, wired to the connectrpc-go repository. The work is tracked in commit 661ba91c3c075fa1378a60567dcbb18d0b236b4b ("Add connectrpc/gosimple (#2023)"). In addition, a Dockerfile was added to streamline plugin builds, and configuration files define versioning, dependencies, and output languages to enable reproducible builds and easier future updates. This paves the way for easier adoption of Gosimple in client pipelines and reduces integration friction for teams adopting connectRPC-based code generation.
