Tools & Business Platforms
Postman
Postman is an API development and collaboration platform that enables teams to design, test, document, and monitor APIs throughout their lifecycle. It improves developer experience and accelerates API-driven development.
What is it?
Postman is a comprehensive API platform that provides tools for building, testing, documenting, and sharing APIs. It started as a simple REST client and evolved into a full API lifecycle management solution.
What does it do?
Postman allows developers to send API requests, inspect responses, write automated tests, manage environments, generate documentation, and collaborate using shared collections. It supports REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, and gRPC.
Where is it used?
Postman is widely used in backend development teams, API-first companies, SaaS platforms, and enterprise environments where APIs are core products or integration points.
When & why it emerged
Postman was created in 2012 to simplify API testing and debugging. As API ecosystems grew, it evolved to address collaboration, documentation, automation, and governance needs across teams.
Why we use it at Internative
We use Postman to design, test, and validate APIs during development and integration phases. It enables fast feedback, clear API contracts, and smoother collaboration between backend, frontend, and external partners.
