Postman inhabits this weird niche where it was tons of value when it was free, and now it's wildly not worth the price. The only thing keeping us on Postman was inertia, which this year's invoice has finally sprung us out of, and we're switching to Bruno.
I worry that Bruno will go the same way, as that's also what Insomnia did.
Can't believe we almost switched to that to get away from Postman. At this point, I'd rather have a text file full of curl commands, because httpie looks about ready to spring an Enterprise tier as well.
It really feels something so simple that in the end mostly open source free tool done as hobby could do most of the functionality. Leveraging some existing open source tool...
A $5.6B valuation means that Postman is about as valuable as Reddit ($6.4B). There might be an alternative simulated universe in which this makes sense, but it is not ours. Unfortunately, the market can stay irrational longer than I can stay solvent, so I won't short Postman if it will be listed sometime in the future, but damn, I would really like to do so.
Valuations are silly and comparing them apples-to-apples rarely makes that much sense. It's just some numbers on a paper, there's no real "value" there.
Because I can set it up and share it with my team and quickly onboard new members to our REST API from any environment in less than a few buttons. Any setup needed is already in the pre request script field of the collection.
If I wanted to share different versions of the request I can do so via postman’s code tab.
I would say this adds tremendous value over a jupyter script.
I had so much fun at Twilio signal the year that Tony hawk was there and OK GO played … Great open bar and fantastic catering.
I have no idea what postman is or what people use it for but what’s the point of living in the bay area in 2024 if you’re not taking advantage of this excess?
"Celebrate at our after-party with a performance by six-time Grammy winner and multi-platinum recording artist T-Pain. Conference-goers will stroll to the historic August Hall to enjoy evening drinks, our own bowling alley, and an unforgettable live show."
And Postman describes themselves as:
"Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster."https://www.postman.com
So, I don't know. Enterprise sales gonna enterprise sell? It's part of the game...

what’s wrong with curl again?

mate it's a tool to make http requests
"simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration"
So I guess there's a bunch of API design platform stuff around the client app that they hope will lock in enterprise developers somehow.
