✓ Use when

Teams concerned about sending API traffic through third-party servers — self-hosted Bruno or Hoppscotch are privacy-first alternatives.

What is Postman?

Postman started as a Chrome extension for hitting API endpoints and evolved into a full API lifecycle platform used by over 30 million developers. It supports OpenAPI, GraphQL, and gRPC; collections power automated tests in CI; and Postman Cloud workspaces provide governance, mock servers, and public API documentation. Enterprise features include API governance, private API networks, and SSO.
