POSTMAN GUIDE
Platform Engineering for Financial Services: From API Sprawl to Governed by Default
You’ve built hundreds (maybe thousands) of APIs that internal teams depend on, and partners need access to. But as you’ve scaled, you’ve created internal API sprawl, governance lacks credibility and creates bottlenecks, and disconnected tools break producer-consumer alignment.
This playbook demonstrates how short-term efficiency creates long-term debt, resulting in multiple implementations to maintain, governance that developers avoid, and breaking changes that surprise everyone.
Access the guide to learn how to overcome these challenges as your APIs evolve.
What this playbook covers
Each section walks you through:
- The burden platform teams carry today
- The platform approach that removes it
- How Postman enables it with specific capabilities
- Real outcomes from financial services peers
By the end, you'll understand how unified API platforms provide internal control first, enable safe externalization, and keep producers and consumers aligned as APIs evolve.
