Building Better Online Games with Postman
summary
Claims 20% industry growth in 2020 and that online games now outsell global movies plus North American sports; a microservices backend behind an API gateway on Kubernetes serves player identity, matchmaking, storage and telemetry. CI runs Postman collections (arrange/act/assert/cleanup) exported v2.1 and executed headlessly with Newman; canary deployments use Flagger and GitLab CI to run tests, promote on pass or cancel on fail with Slack alerts. Example: tests detect a display-name limit change from 20 to 48 chars and stop a bad promotion. Postman collections run with Newman canary deployments with Flagger and GitLab CI
