October 2022 Newsletter
We're excited to announce our biggest Ecosystem Partner Program integration yet, with Microsoft Azure. Postman and Azure API Management users can now create and test their APIs in Postman, deploy them to Azure, and simplify the consumers' API onboarding experience.
This month, we also dig into the best use cases for gRPC versus HTTP, offer six Spectral rules that will bolster your API security, and host a Postman learning session designed just for API testers.
Plus, we're still rolling out Postman v10 to users. The early feedback has been fantastic. Want to get on the early access waitlist too? Sign up today!
