API Gateway (Part 2/12): Publishing Snowpal API (Postman Workspace, Readme Documentation)

API Gateway (Part 2/12): Publishing Snowpal API (Postman Workspace, Readme Documentation)

(Part 2/12): Setting up Readme documentation, and creating manageable Postman workspaces. At Snowpal, we are close enough to launching our first API so other technology businesses can consume it, thereby focusing more on their core business problems and delivering quicker.   In this API Gateway series, I'll be sharing a lot of those details. If you have an interest in doing something similar, I hope it benefits you. #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

You were given some Business Requirements. You understood them, converted them to Technical Requirements, designed it nicely, implemented it beautifully and tested it phenomenally well. At this point, you think you are ready to deploy those changes to Production. Sure about that? #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

API Specification: Do Postman Collections with nested directories carry over seamlessly to OpenAPI?

API Specification: Do Postman Collections with nested directories carry over seamlessly to OpenAPI?

Well, we've seen that they do not. We created nested directories in our Postman Collections only to notice that they didn't convert gracefully to OpenAPI when transformed. #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

OAuth 2.0 Implementation to support Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Google

We recently implemented Microsoft Sign In, and had added support for Google Sign In a few weeks earlier. And we've had support for Facebook and Apple Sign In from Day 1. They all support OAuth 2.0 yet we've had to deal with some nuances. #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

And if you are wondering why they have anything to do with each other, listen in! #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.

Transforming REST Endpoints defined in YAML files to Postman Workspace

We had a need to dynamically create Postman Workspaces (collections and endpoints) as part of the API Gateway Product we are currently working on. So, we wrote a script to convert endpoints defined in YAML files to Postman workspaces. #snowpal #projectmanagement Manage personal and professional projects on https://snowpal.com.
