It's an ongoing software project and with that comes change.

Products grow and evolve over time to cater for the ever changing landscape that is software development.

We've grown to match the needs of our customers over the last 10+ years, the features in the platform reflect those changes.

That's completely there for them to do.

It's also not a simple or basic product, it's a full API development platform.

That ranges from single users, who might have that simple use case, all the way through to multiple teams across orgs of 1000s of users, who have a much more complex usecases.

Appreciate you getting back to me.

With the latest version you can connect a Workspace to your local filesystem and a git repo, it would be all local until you choose to push the changes.

We've also introduced a bunch of other changes in today's major release too. πŸ™πŸΌ

Hey πŸ‘‹

Which version is this, that looks like an older UI for the Collection.

Did it load? Are you able to use that Request?

Postman Vault has been a feature for over a year now.

There's more information about good security practices here:

blog.postman.com/engineering/...

This is also a newly released Beta feature for working with local files:

We don't want you to send any sensitive data, that's why we recommend that those are placed in the locally encrypted Postman Vault.

Those can then be referenced in your Collections using the Vault variable syntax.

Also, all variables are local by default unless explicitly shared by the user. πŸ™πŸΌ

Postman - Visual Studio Marketplace Extension for Visual Studio Code - Streamline API development and testing with the power of Postman, directly in your favorite IDE.

We also have a vscode extension, if you were using Postman previously, you can continue using the same Workspaces and Collections in your IDE:

That's cool, all the AI based features can also be disabled via the general settings.

Personally, I think you'd be missing out on some real productivity tools within the platform but it's completely your choice. πŸ™πŸΌ

🀯 89% of #developers use #AI daily. Only 24% build APIs agents can use.

AI now reads your APIs more than humans do. If your docs aren’t built for machines, your APIs won’t keep up.

See how leading teams are closing the gap πŸ‘‡

I loved being part of this @ministryoftesting.com pre event run. I've been attending the conference in Brighton for years but this is the first time I've taken part.

It was a lovely chat, at a steady pace, covering 5km of the seafront. ❀️
