Code generation: speed with guardrails

Code generation is producing code automatically from specifications, templates, or higher-level descriptions. It can be used to scaffold components, generate API clients, create types from schemas, or accelerate development with AI. The trade-off is that generated code must be reviewable and maintainable.

Where it’s useful

  • API clients from OpenAPI/GraphQL schemas
  • Typed models and validation from a single source of truth
  • Boilerplate UI and repetitive integration work

Best practices

  • Keep templates versioned and treat changes as code.
  • Regenerate deterministically and avoid manual edits in generated output.
  • Add tests and lint rules so bad generations fail fast.
