Welcome to Mastering Postman, the course that transforms you from "I can send a GET request" to "I automate entire API workflows before my coffee cools."

Monitor APIs 24/7 – Get Slack alerts when production APIs break
Stat: Teams using automated API testing reduce bugs by 65% (Postman 2023 Report)
