Summary
Monitoring is an important strategy in the world of modern API development. It is impossible to fully predict everything that will happen in the real-world usage of our applications. No matter how well we have tested our APIs, there will always be surprises in the real world. Monitors are a way to mitigate the risk of these surprises. With monitors, we can see what is going on with our APIs and quickly respond to issues.
In this chapter, I have shown you how to get started with using this tool in Postman. You have seen how to create a monitor and how to add requests and tests to that monitor. You have also learned about the various options that Postman has for creating monitors and learned when to use those options. In addition, I have shown you how to view and understand the result that Postman gives when monitors are run.
Monitoring allows you to get a glimpse into how an API is working when your clients are using it, but it is no replacement for having a good understanding...
