June 2022 Newsletter
Postman is excited to announce a 2022 update to the API Platform Landscape authored by our co-founder and CEO, Abhinav Asthana. We've identified important new industry players as well as six API trends and challenges that every company should know about, including the rise of multi-cloud architecture and a shortage of API design skills. Read about all of them here.
You'll also want to check out the second season of the Breaking Changes podcast. Join Chief Evangelist Kin Lane as he talks with guests from PayPal, Goldman Sachs, Adobe, and more about the most effective approaches to APIs, including API-first. It's a chance to learn from the best.

Platform Updates
Save Time with Automatic Changelogs
Postman now automatically generates a changelog for your collections, sparing your team members and partners from the tedious task of entering it manually. It shows a chronological list of updates made to your elements along with information about who made the change and when.
Manage Server-Level Responses on a Mock Server
Server errors are a common scenario but hard to replicate while testing. To address this, Postman now offers server-level response APIs accessible via the Postman API. These new APIs simulate error behaviors on a mock server—no need to define 5xx errors individually for all paths exposed on your mock server.
