Postman Partners with Microsoft
October 12, 2022

Postman announced a major advance in its mission to support developers across each stage of the API-first lifecycle: a partnership with Microsoft that will provide a comprehensive API experience for Microsoft Azure customers.

The Postman API Platform simplifies each step of the API-first lifecycle – design, document, test, deploy, monitor, and discover – and streamlines collaboration so companies can create better APIs more quickly.

Microsoft Azure API Management is a hybrid, multi-cloud management platform trusted by thousands of enterprise customers to abstract back-end services and create modern API gateways available in more than 50 regions worldwide.

“This announcement is great news for organizations that recognize APIs as fundamental business assets critical to digital transformation,” said Abhijit Kane, Postman Co-founder. “Our two companies have taken a significant step in giving customers the comprehensive set of tools they need for accelerating the API lifecycle.”

The alliance integrates the Postman platform and Azure API Management, so users can create and test their APIs in Postman, deploy them to Azure, and simplify consumers’ API onboarding experience.

Additional functionalities of this partnership include:

- Postman-initiated import from Azure API Management with the ability to import OpenAPI definitions from Azure API Management

- Export of OpenAPI definitions to Azure API Management with support for versions, revisions, host selection, and environment variables

- Azure API Management-initiated export of APIs into Postman using “Run in Postman”

“Our goal is to enable developers with the most efficient way to build, manage, consume and collaborate with APIs, so a partnership with Postman was a natural decision for us,” said Balan Subramanian at Microsoft. “Our integrations will enable customers to realize productivity benefits at each phase of the API lifecycle. Together, we look forward to seeing how developers and customers everywhere will continue to drive innovation across their organizations by embracing an API-first culture.”

Smit Patel, head of partnerships at Postman, said, “Aligning with a cloud leader like Microsoft is terrific for our mutual customers and boosts Postman’s status as the enterprise-grade solution for the API-first world.”
