Postman Acquires Orbit to Improve API Collaboration

Orbit, a platform used by development firms to expand communities on forums, chat rooms, and social media, has been acquired by Postman, an API platform for creating and utilising APIs.

For the last 10 years, Postman has built the leading API platform enabling developers to collaborate with every other developer on Earth. Developer teams can build APIs together.

"At Postman, the Orbit team will now build community features into the Postman Public API Network so that publishers and consumers can actively collaborate. Led by Noah Schwartz, who recently joined us from AWS to lead the Public API Network, the Orbit team will enable API distributors to grow their communities, increase usage of their APIs, and get feedback directly from users on the network. Developers will be able to better discover APIs that address their use cases and engage with their peers to make the most of each API. The current Orbit product will sunset over the next 90 days," said Abhinav Asthana, co-founder and CEO of Postman.

Orbit has been assisting leading developer companies in managing and expanding their communities on various platforms, including GitHub, Slack, and Discord, for the past four years. With the use of its tools, builders may interact with developers, gauge how well their experience is going, and find ways to make the developer experience better.
