Joyce Lin, Postman | DevNet Create 2019
summary
Postman starts as a side project and now runs a freemium platform with 6 million developers and over 130 million APIs indexed, used by about 200,000 companies. It adds team and enterprise features while staying developer-first, uses mock servers to let front-end and integration teams parallel‑develop and prototype before real back ends exist, and encourages community‑built converters and integrations. The company counts ~100 employees (55% engineering) and shifts focus from individual tooling to scalable team workflows.
