Just joined the Postman Community and wanted to say hi. I’ve been working with APIs for a while now mostly REST, some GraphQL and Postman has been my go to tool for testing, mocking, and debugging. But I realized I’ve barely scratched the surface of what it can do, especially with Workspaces, Collections, and the newer AI features.
Honestly, I’m not sure where to start here. There’s a ton of great content tutorials, challenges, discussions and I’d love to find a good entry point to connect with others, share use cases, and maybe even contribute something useful.
If there’s a thread or subforum where newcomers typically introduce themselves or ask early questions, I’d appreciate a nudge. Also curious how folks are using Postman in production especially around automation, testing pipelines, and edge integrations.
Glad to be here and looking forward to learning from this awesome community.
A great place to connect with other people is here on our Discourse community or on Discord where we chat more asynchronously. Both places are great places to ask questions, connect with other Postman users, and share any interesting things you are working on. Say hi in # introductions on Discord, leave a random question on #general-chat or any other relevant channel
Two really good resources I will recommend for learning are:
Postman Docs: This is the complete documentation for Postman. If there’s anything you are looking to learn, it is probably a search away on Postman Docs.
Postman Academy: We have structured courses, with certifications for different experience level on the Academy. You should check it out.
As regards how Postman is used in production for automation and testing. There is no one-size-fits-all answer here. Some general advice will be:
Use environments to separate testing in production from testing across other environments(e.g, staging, development, etc.)
Use post-response scripts to author test cases and assertions for your API. Once you have a test suite, you can use the collection runner to manually test your collections at will or on a schedule.
The Postman CLI lets you run your test suite on the command line. This means you can use this to gain confidence in your API deployments by integrating it with your CI/CD pipelines. Since it’s a command-line tool, it should work with a CI/CD tool(GitHub Actions, Circle CI, Jenkins). You can use the collection runner to generate configuration files(in YAML or JSON) for any OS or tool of your choice.
I hope this helps, and feel free to let me know if you have further questions.
