Thanks Alex! Yes I have done and still doing. :) Swagger generates code for you and I am not sure whether this is what I want. You apparently can design, test, and even build (?) your API but how to deploy it? This is something I don't know yet! I am still investigating this solution and hope that this would be something for us, if I will be able to integrate it with Apache.
