Summary

Coursera, an online education platform, collaborates with global universities and organizations to provide a wide range of courses, having pioneered the concept of MOOCs in 2012. The platform serves both learners, who choose courses from various fields, and university partners, who provide new course content. Coursera’s service-oriented architecture supports a vast array of APIs, facilitating communication between the learner and partner sides while enabling rapid service development and deployment. To manage the fast-paced innovation and partner onboarding without overburdening engineers, Coursera adopted Postman, which allowed the operations team to handle API interactions independently. This adoption enhanced productivity by enabling the operations team to work with minimal technical knowledge, effectively bridging the gap between operations and engineering. The use of Postman extended beyond developers to other organizational teams, demonstrating the broader applicability of accessible APIs in improving operational efficiency.
