July 2022 Newsletter
This month, Postman Chief Evangelist Kin Lane offers five tips for creating higher-quality API infrastructure at enterprises, from mapping the API landscape to automating collections. And if you're brand new to Postman, we've got you covered with five things to try as you explore the platform.
Postman has been named No. 1 in both API Management and API Design by G2. We're grateful to the many Postman users whose reviews helped generate this rating. We'd also like to thank everyone who shared their thoughts in our 2022 State of the API survey. We'll distribute the report soon!
Platform Updates
What's New in Postman for the First Half of 2022?
We've gathered our recent product updates into one handy page. You'll find new features related to integrations, search and discovery, collaboration, security, protocols, unresolved variables, and more.
Four Performance Improvements for Faster Workflows
With Postman v9.14, we've prioritized speed. The Postman app now launches twice as quickly, and workspace items, collections, and requests load between two and four times faster. Plus we've halved the Postman app's memory usage, meaning you can work longer without sluggishness on your devices.
Postman Improves gRPC Support with New Interface
Our designers have redesigned the gRPC interface to be more intuitive and easy for first-time users. Plus, all of Postman's collaborative features are now available for gRPC, just as they are for HTTP. You can now save your multi-file Protobuf APIs in Postman's cloud.
Take Bulk Actions, Undo Changes with Updated Sidebar
We're excited to announce updates to the Postman sidebar that make it super easy for you to organize, navigate, and take action on the elements in your workspaces quickly and effectively. Plus, you'll love our new undo feature.
