Buf blog

Buf is introducing custom lint and breaking change plugins via the Bufplugin framework. Check it out to see how easy it is to author, test, and consume your own lint and breaking change rules.

Today, we’re launching the 1.0 release of our new unified GitHub Action, powered by the Buf CLI. This integration streamlines the processes of building, formatting, linting, and checking for breaking changes in your Protobuf schemas. It seamlessly integrates with GitHub's pull request workflow and automatically publishes Protobuf schema changes to the Buf Schema Registry when pull requests are merged.

The Buf CLI and its associated configuration have been completely overhauled to support monorepos as first-class citizens. Everything we've changed is 100% backwards compatible.

The Buf CLI can now integrate seamlessly with your Gradle builds.

A new tool to call gRPC, gRPC-Web, and Connect endpoints.

Buf's officially supported GitHub Actions make it easier than ever to instrument your CI/CD Protocol Buffers workflows with `buf`.
