About the Team :

Postman, as an API platform, has largely been used by the developers to build, test and share the APIs and monitor the API usage. The next logical phase for the developers and testers is to observe and verify how the system behaves under different load profiles. To solve this, Postman launched a Performance Testing product in alpha phase last year.
