Best Microservices Tools for Startups

The collaboration platform for API development. Simplify each step of building an API and streamline collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster. Postman is a collaboration platform for API development. Postman's features simplify each step of building an API and streamline collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster. Quickly and easily send REST, SOAP, and GraphQL requests directly within Postman. Automate manual tests and integrate them into your CI/CD pipeline to ensure that any code changes won't break the API in production. Communicate the expected behavior of an API by simulating endpoints and their responses without having to set up a backend server. Generate and publish beautiful, machine-readable documentation to make your API easier to consume. Stay up-to-date on the health of your API by checking performance and response times at scheduled intervals. Provide a shared context for building and consuming APIs, and collaborate in real-time.

Join the growing community of integration ninjas using Martini™ to integrate faster. Gloop eliminates the grunt work required when creating services for application and data integration, building APIs, and managing data. Gloop makes it easy to perform common development tasks such as mapping and transforming data, iterating over arrays, executing if-else and switch-case logic, invoking external code, running jobs in parallel, and so much more. Flux is Martini’s event based workflow engine for managing asynchronous workflows and event based triggers of Gloop microservices. With Flux you can invoke Gloop microservices sequentially, passing the output of one to the other, and/or in parallel, and Flux will maintain the state of each execution for you. Flux workflows are created visually by dragging Flux states onto a canvas and selecting the Gloop microservice you would like executed when the state is invoked.

Telepresence streamlines your local development process, enabling immediate feedback. You can launch your local environment on your laptop, equipped with your preferred tools, while Telepresence seamlessly connects them to the microservices and test databases they rely on. It simplifies and expedites collaborative development, debugging, and testing within Kubernetes environments by establishing a seamless connection between your local machine and shared remote Kubernetes clusters. Why Telepresence: Faster feedback loops: Spend less time building, containerizing, and deploying code. Get immediate feedback on code changes by running your service in the cloud from your local machine. Shift testing left: Create a remote-to-local debugging experience. Catch bugs pre-production without the configuration headache of remote debugging. Deliver better, faster user experience: Get new features and applications into the hands of users faster and more frequently.

An extendable, simple and stateless high-performance API Gateway framework designed for both cloud-native and on-prem setups. Consumers of REST API content (especially in microservices) often query backend services that weren’t coded for the UI implementation. This is of course a good practice, but the UI consumers need to do implementations that suffer a lot of complexity and burden with the sizes of their microservices responses. Lura is an API Gateway builder and proxy generator that sits between the client and all the source servers, adding a new layer that removes all the complexity to the clients, providing them only the information that the UI needs. Lura acts as an aggregator of many sources into single endpoints and allows you to group, wrap, transform and shrink responses. Additionally, it supports a myriad of middlewares and plugins that allow you to extend the functionality, such as adding Oauth authorization or security layers.

Connect data, apps, devices—all the “things” you need to speed innovation with APIs and microservices. Get new products and services out the door—faster! APIs and microservices can help you deliver new and differentiating products and services that improve customer engagement and loyalty to positively impact your bottom line. From new mobile applications and omnichannel initiatives, to improved e-commerce and business processes, APIs and microservices power differentiation and business growth in disruptive markets. Protect APIs, data and microservices with authentication and access control. Set thresholds and limits to control API usage. Group and manage microservices just like you would with business apps. Reuse and govern them to take control and avoid chaos. Monitor who's using your APIs and microservices with increased transparency. Measure what's being consumed to directly or indirectly impact revenue. Create a storefront for your APIs with an API portal.
