January 2025 monthly summary for svix/svix-webhooks. Focused on API surface stabilization, codebase modernization, and CI improvements. Key features delivered include integrating the OpenAPI-generated client and surface with consistent exports across modules (application tools, endpoints, authentication) and ensuring initialization is uniform; refactoring the codebase for modular generated code, moving common options to shared modules, and tightening type hints. API surface stabilization was achieved by exporting new Options types and aligning method ordering across modules. Added and exposed OpenAPI-generated models (EventType, Integration, MessageAttempt, Message, Statistics) and their *Options in __init__ with consistent ordering. Documentation: updated Changelog to capture breaking changes. Major bugs fixed include removing the __all__ export from application.py and adding special-case handling for servers that omit camelCase fields in responses. CI improvements include switching Python tests to a public-release image and disabling --build in pytest-docker. Tech stack and skills demonstrated include Python, in-house API codegen, OpenAPI/codegen migration, alias_generator usage, advanced typing, and modular code design.
