August 2022 Newsletter
It's been a busy month for the Postman team, and we're excited to share two big pieces of news: The State of the API Report and a preview of Postman v10.
State of the API Report
Postman's 2022 State of the API Report is the largest and most comprehensive survey and report on APIs, ever. It reveals how more than 37,000 developers and industry professionals are spending their time on APIs, what tools and technologies they like most, and what they expect for hiring and spending over the coming year.
Postman V10
We're thrilled about Postman v10, which is coming soon! You'll find native Git support for API Builder, support for gRPC, Partner Workspaces, a new Postman CLI to automate testing, and enhancements to API security and governance.
Platfrom updates
Collection Documentation Gets Tighter Governance
For teams on the Postman Enterprise plan, publishing documentation will now go through the same approval process as workspaces and collections, further enabling airtight governance on the Postman API Platform.
Test gRPC APIs with Postman
We've supercharged our gRPC support by adding the capability of writing test specifications for all of your use cases. We hope these improvements will make your workflow even more efficient by allowing easier API development and testing.
Postman Now Has Mock Servers for gRPC
With Postman, gRPC users can just copy and paste a mock URL of a Protobuf API, and get instant, reliable mocking that always stays up-to-date as the service changes.
