About the team Our team owns open-source SDKs that reflect the Stripe API in seven different programming languages. A vast majority of server-side Stripe integrations are built using our open-source SDKs. Our team also owns an in-house code generation framework, which we use to generate not just the SDKs, but the code snippets in our documentation and the commands in Stripe Shell, which is an in-browser version of the Stripe CLI. We are dedicated to providing a world-class experience for developers using our SDKs.
