Our take
Postman is a SaaS collaboration platform designed to streamline API development teams. APIs serve as the backbone for communication and data sharing across numerous applications, playing a pivotal role in today's device-centric landscape. The platform offers tools for testing, version control, and documentation, ensuring the efficient production of APIs.
Initially founded in Bangalore, Postman has since relocated its headquarters to San Francisco. With a prestigious clientele including X, Shopify, and Intuit, the platform boasts over 15M developers worldwide. Postman actively engages with the API developer community through various initiatives, such as hosting hackathons with enticing cash prizes.
The growing reliance on APIs to fuel digital transformation, compounded by the widespread shift to remote work and digitalization, underscores their critical importance. Moreover, the sensitive nature of APIs, given the data they transmit and the potential security risks, accentuates the need for robust development practices. Hence, Postman has thrived as companies seek to develop secure APIs efficiently to meet evolving demands.
