What's the fastest way to produce an API?

Question

What tools or processes do you use to go from an idea to a working API including an OpenAPI specification?I've done this many times using code generation, etc. but still find the iteration time to be too long. Ideally, I'd like to get close to the speed of thought.Bonus points if you can point to a code repository as an example.

Fastest? Do a crappy API.Otherwise, this is a good guideline:http://sweng.the-davies.net/Home/rustys-api-design-manifesto

I've built a toolset and am putting the final touches on potentially exactly what you need, I'm looking for a few early adopters and some feedback
every API is serverless, typescript, openapi, has GitHub CI/CD, and runs locally and on AWS lambda
shoot me a message and I'd love to show you around: christian (at) scaffold.ly
