What’s new in Postman: API health scorecards in the Postman API Catalog
Blog post from Postman
The Postman API Catalog has introduced Service Health Scorecards to provide an aggregated health signal for each service, drawing from test pass rates, specification compliance, and production metrics, which is available on the Postman Enterprise plan. This update allows platform teams and API governance leads to monitor service health at the catalog level, streamlining the process by reducing the need for manual checks across multiple APIs. The catalog's layout is now organized around the API development lifecycle, integrating development activity, test results, and production signals into a single view, facilitating better API governance by highlighting services that require attention. To fully utilize these features, teams should ensure their collections run on a schedule and connect API gateways to include comprehensive production metrics, while the new API Catalog endpoints in Postman API v1.39 allow for programmatic data retrieval. Note that the accuracy of scorecards depends on the connectivity of services to relevant data sources, and this feature is exclusive to the Postman Enterprise plan, prompting those on different plans to consider upgrading if this functionality is crucial.
