Deploy, Monitor, and Test an API in 10 Minutes

1:39Hello.

1:40Oh, hi.

1:41Oh, hi. Hello everyone. Good morning.

1:44Good day. See some people already

1:46uh in the in the starting blocks to

1:50for the live stream to get started.

1:51Yeah, it actually took me a while. I had

1:53a

1:54So, I'm always monitoring live stream

1:55before we get started.

1:57And I forgot to close the tab from

1:58probably yesterday, which was uh the

2:00page. And I could hear the live stream.

2:02It was like, "Where is that coming

2:03from?" So, I had to go through all my

2:04pages and try to find where it was

2:06coming from. But, yeah. We here now.

2:08Um welcome everyone. My name is Arlemi.

2:11I'm a developer advocate at Postman, and

2:13I'm based in London. And I'm here with

2:15uh

2:16Joyce.

2:18A.k.a. petinya_gray on Twitter. If you

2:20want to If you want to follow.

2:22Who are you, Joyce? Hi everyone. I'm

2:25also in developer relations at Postman,

2:26and I'm based in San Francisco. So, it's

2:28really dark here.

2:30It's like virtually

2:32morning night.

2:34What time is it 8:00 a.m. somewhere?

2:37Uh yes, 8:00 a.m. Very good. Let's start

2:40fast, guys. Quit the chit-chat. Let's

2:42get started. Chop, chop.

2:46Um

2:47Well, I have some uh

2:48Oh, wait. I don't need to highlight

2:49them. They're on the side. Uh let's

2:51start fast. Well, um

2:54Compared to other live streams that

2:55we've done, you may have seen the title

2:56of this one, which is deploy, monitor,

2:58and test an API in 10 minutes.

3:00Um so, we'll do

3:02uh

3:03First, we do the usual. We do in case

3:04you missed it, etc. Then, we take 10

3:06minutes,

3:07do or at least try to do what we've uh

3:11what we've

3:12uh said we would do. So, deploy, test,

3:14and uh monitor an API in less than 10

3:16minutes. And then,

3:18uh we'll switch to probably the

3:19giveaway.

3:21And uh just explore some other um

3:25things you can do with Postman. So,

3:27giveaway, if you're not aware of it, let

3:29me just put that here because you still

3:31have some time to do it.

3:33Um if you go on Twitter,

3:36tweet using these hashtags of Postman

3:38favorites. Oh. Um

3:40and you can enter a giveaway that again

3:42we'll do in in about like half an hour.

3:45Um

3:46So, obviously, the reason for this

3:48hashtag is that you need to let us know

3:49what's your like favorite Postman

3:50feature. So, I've seen some uh just like

3:53a few minutes back, which were the

3:54collection runner or like monitors or

3:57code generation, etc.

3:59Um so, yeah.

4:00If you're uh if you're interested in

4:02that, what you can win is the little

4:04bobblehead that you can see behind uh

4:06Joyce on the table. Not the not the big

4:08helmet, the bobblehead.

4:13That one.

4:16It's pretty cool.

4:18So, yeah.

4:19Um

4:21Go ahead, tweet us, and we'll uh we'll

4:23do the giveaway there. But, before

4:25friends are here. There's Try My Lumpia.

4:27There's Willie Gear. So many of our

4:29friends. Yeah.

4:31Some uh

4:32some names I haven't seen in a little

4:34while.

4:35Yeah. Don't don't shame them, Arlemi.

4:37No. It's It's very good. I'm very happy

4:39to see them.

4:40Um so, before we get started, let's do

4:42uh let's do in case you missed it. Let

4:45me share my screen.

4:46missed it. See, we haven't had that in a

4:48while as well.

4:49Well, we've had a lot of new releases,

4:51though.

4:52Yeah. Um

4:54let's do that way so we can see

4:56everything. So,

4:58um

5:00We actually uh saw quite a few things

5:02last week. So, some changes to the

5:03flows, etc.

5:05And uh we talked about the gRPC support

5:07again.

5:08This week um and when I say this week,

5:10it was this morning, there was this new

5:11release.

5:12Um

5:13where you can actually see and we'll

5:15talk about all these integrations today.

5:17Uh all these integrations you can add to

5:18monitor your APIs directly in Postman.

5:20So, what we've done

5:21um is that now directly from the

5:23interface,

5:24uh you can add new integrations uh to

5:27your to your APIs. So, you can do um

5:29analytics, incident and integration and

5:31internal messaging tools directly from

5:33uh that interface. So, that interface

5:35being

5:36uh let me see if I can

5:38find one.

5:42Oof, that is Woah, there was a ton of

5:43like uh tool tools down there.

5:47That That entire tab is um brand new or

5:49the not the tab, but all the different

5:51So, you have to go To find it, you need

5:53to go in the API builder, which is that

5:55little side of Postman on on the on the

5:57left-hand side.

5:58Open an API, then you have uh these

6:01different tabs for documentation, tests,

6:03etc. And in the monitoring tab,

6:05um you have all of these tools. And

6:06yeah, we'll go we'll go through all of

6:08them.

6:09All of them? Not probably all of them.

6:11Some of them. Okay. Um

6:14But, yeah. That's Now, you can integrate

6:15with all this. So, that's the that's the

6:17menus. There's a a couple of bug fixes.

6:18I don't think we need to uh go through

6:20all this. But, in case you faced a

6:22couple bugs with Postman, those they're

6:23probably fixed now. So,

6:25uh there's that as well. Is there

6:27anything else we need to mention? That's

6:29pretty huge. I mean, the last Every week

6:32we do this weekly stream,

6:34there's just been like so much new

6:36stuff.

6:39Is John's work alias here? My light is

6:40changing in a very cool programmatic

6:42fashion. And he's the only one that

6:44changes my light.

6:47Um

6:49I see already some question.

6:51Um

6:53So, something about some new fittings.

6:55So, let's wait and watch. Yeah, that's

6:56It sounds like the the way to do it.

6:57Wait and watch. Uh John's work alias is

6:59over here. Probably changing uh Joyce's

7:01light color.

7:02Thank you.

7:04So, if you're interested in that uh and

7:05if you want to play along, you can check

7:07our previous live streams. Or I think

7:08Joyce, you might have a blog that

7:10explains how to do that.

7:11To change the light? Yeah. Yeah. I'll

7:14drop a link to the workspace. It's

7:15pretty self-explanatory. You just turn

7:17the JSON body to whatever hex code you

7:20want.

7:24Are you going to search?

7:25This one.

7:25Very nice.

7:27If you search for turn on the light in

7:29Joyce's kitchen,

7:31um you'll find

7:33that collection. And I'll drop a link.

7:36And you can just go ahead and uh

7:38And yeah, just change the change the

7:39color of the light. But, yeah. That

7:41being said, uh let's stop sharing my

7:44screen.

7:46And I guess get ready for uh get ready

7:50for what we're going to do. So,

7:53What are we going to do? Good news for

7:54me is that I'm not going to do anything,

7:56and Joyce is going to do everything. Um

7:59I

8:00have somehow planned

8:02what I'm planning for her to go through.

8:05Uh but, we'll see how that goes.

8:07The point being, we want to We kind of

8:08want to show um

8:10how it would work to go from just having

8:13an API specification

8:15or an API definition, actually. Uh and

8:18go all the way from

8:20that to having something that is

8:21deployed

8:22that you can test and monitor using

8:24Postman.

8:27In 10 minutes.

8:29Okay.

8:29that sound?

8:30I'm fine. You're the one that's telling

8:32me what to do. Uh you had me log into a

8:34couple systems so I'm not fumbling with

8:36my authentication, but um

8:39I mean, this the pressure's on you, bud.

8:44Well, the I guess it Should I Should I

8:46actually start a

8:48start a timer on my phone?

8:49No. Okay, so here's the thing. People in

8:51the audience, do you want us to go speed

8:53run right off the bat and just do it

8:55and then talk about it later? Or do you

8:57want us to kind of like talk through the

8:58different areas? So, it'd be great um

9:01either way if you want us to

9:04go fast or if you want us to actually

9:05explain what we're doing. Let us know in

9:07the comments. Otherwise, it'll be up to

9:10Arlemi to choose, I suppose.

9:12Okay, so we have a talk-through vote.

9:14That's what we'll be.

9:16Silence. No talking.

9:19No, that's probably that's probably fair

9:20that to we can uh we can talk through

9:22what we want to do. Um to be fair, I'm

9:24going to say it is it is doable in 10

9:26minutes because I only had 10 minutes to

9:28prepare the live stream, and I did. And

9:29I did it in 10 minutes. Uh but, yeah, we

9:31can talk through it. So, let's let's

9:32have Joyce share her screen.

9:35Uh I've seen it done in 20 minutes.

9:37Okay, we we'll do in less than 20

9:38anyway. Um

9:41If you can do it in five rather than 10,

9:43that's a

9:44That's a challenge. I'll do it in five.

9:47Yeah, we'll probably do it

9:47do it three-minute TikTok.

9:50Probably we probably won't be able to do

9:52it to do five. Uh so, I see mostly

9:54people like wanting us to explain.

9:56That's good.

9:57For what?

9:59Just FYI, I'm going to remove the chat

10:01from the screen so you won't be able to

10:02see the messages. I'll see them.

10:06I'm removing them so we can see the the

10:07screen.

10:08My screen, yeah. in

10:10taking the whole space.

10:12Yeah, cuz there's a lot of things to

10:14show. But keep your messages coming. I'm

10:16seeing them. I'll like them.

10:19Like this one which I already like. Even

10:21instant noodles aren't that fast.

10:24So yeah, cool. All right. So

10:26one thing to get started

10:29is

10:30not Postman. What?

10:32One thing that I asked Joyce to do is to

10:33create a GitHub or to log in to GitHub.

10:37You didn't ask me to do anything.

10:38No, so go on GitHub and that's going to

10:40be actually your starting point. So we

10:42want to

10:43That's a nice profile.

10:44Gosh, my face is huge.

10:46Okay,

10:46you can probably zoom out a bit. Oh, am

10:49I zoomed in that hard? You're pretty

10:51zoomed in, yeah. Oh. Oh, okay, there.

10:53Okay. So we start by creating a repo.

10:58Just an empty repo and we'll use that

10:59for the remainder of the stream. So

11:01let's say you're in the context where

11:02you have you're working with a team. You

11:04might be using GitHub or you might be

11:06using another Git like Bitbucket etc.

11:08So call it um

11:10maybe a live stream live stream demo.

11:14Something like that. And let's just add

11:15a let's just add a read me to it.

11:19Okay, we can make it public. And that's

11:21all we need. We just need a an empty

11:22space and that's what we're going to use

11:23to store our API specification. We'll

11:26use it to our API definition we'll use

11:27it to store our collections etc. And

11:30we're not going to do all that manually.

11:32You'll see later how we're going to

11:33integrate with Postman and it's just

11:34going to take care of all the the back

11:36and forth between the two.

11:37Um that's cool.

11:39Starting point we have a GitHub

11:40repository.

11:42Now let's

11:44let's pull up an API definition. So if

11:47you've seen the title title mentions

11:49deploying monitoring and testing. It

11:51doesn't mention designing. Designing is

11:53probably

11:54Oh, tricky. It's probably where it would

11:55take the longest where you have to

11:57actually write your own definition like

11:59define your your endpoints, security

12:01schemes etc. So let's just take one

12:03that's existing so you can go on the API

12:05network.

12:07Okay. Search for Spacecamp. So we should

12:11have one in Spacecamp.

12:12Um

12:13if you don't know what Spacecamp is it's

12:14like an instructional series that we do.

12:17And if you do for Postman Spacecamp on

12:19Google you can find like plenty of

12:21long video about like introduction for

12:24testers, introduction for developers

12:25etc. Okay. But what we're interested in

12:28is

12:30is the API stub at the left.

12:34There's a couple of things in there.

12:36We could pick either actually but I know

12:39I did mine with the exploratory video so

12:40we can pick that one.

12:45I'll just restart. Google copy paste

12:46change copyright text but yeah.

12:50Just create everything and then

12:52you just have to

12:54just have to give it to someone else.

12:57Okay, which one? Do you want the draft

12:59or the V1 of your API? Let's take the

13:02V1.

13:03So you can open that. Go to the

13:04definition tab. Okay, so I'm it's

13:07version one definition tab. Yeah, so we

13:10have chance to work at this. He's giving

13:11some advices to anyone else who wants to

13:13change the the light behind Joyce.

13:16And we have Yiannis Doukas says hello

13:17everyone. Are you not entertained?

13:21So yeah, so that's a that's an API

13:23definition. Let's copy that actually and

13:26bring it to uh

13:28bring it to your own workspace so you

13:29can You have it copied? Yeah. Yep. So

13:32let's go to your workspace in Postman. I

13:34don't know which one you Should I create

13:36a Can it be public or

13:39Um

13:40it Oh, we might have

13:42work in the public one cuz there's like

13:43integrations and stuff.

13:44Okay, so I'll create a new workspace.

13:50We'll call this one live stream demo. I

13:53don't know why I put the dash in there.

13:54You don't need it.

13:57But yeah.

13:58Okay, and I'll make it I'll make it a

14:00team one. Yep. Okay. Yep.

14:03Okay.

14:04So new workspace, let's add an API in

14:06there.

14:08Okay.

14:11What happens when you see this? Do you

14:13do it or can you see this? This little

14:15toast. I'll just close it. Okay. Yeah, I

14:16usually just close it.

14:18Until one day I'm actually opening

14:19Postman and I don't have anything in my

14:21mind that I can just update it.

14:23Let's give it a version. One, right? V1.

14:26one for example. It it doesn't matter.

14:28It's going to be mostly for you so you

14:29can leave that to default. Was it open

14:31API version three? I didn't remember.

14:34Three?

14:34Yep. YAML? Yep. I clearly did not see

14:37what I was copying and pasting.

14:41Okay, so now I have it here.

14:44Yep.

14:46This is the boilerplate.

14:48I'll hopefully it's still on my

14:49clipboard. Yep, there it is. Whoops.

14:53Nice. Okay, so we have we have that

14:55setting.

14:56So we have our new API definition. It's

14:58in Postman. It's in your new API.

15:00Now let's

15:02sync with GitHub, right? Like we created

15:04that GitHub repository.

15:06We might be in a context where other

15:08people are in your team and using that

15:09same repository. So let's go

15:11in the connect repository

15:13tab that you see there.

15:15And you can see there's other ones,

15:16right? They are mentioned you could

15:17connect to other things. We actually

15:18added Azure DevOps recently.

15:19Oh, yeah. That's new.

15:22Yeah, but you it could be GitLab. It

15:23could be Bitbucket. And if you were on

15:25an enterprise plan you would see GitHub

15:27Enterprise,

15:28Bitbucket Server and GitLab Enterprise.

15:31I think it's called.

15:32You'd see some more things but I'm not

15:34on an enterprise team right now so this

15:36is um

15:37Oh, should I just do GitHub? Well

15:39Yeah, let's do this.

15:40So I have a repo already.

15:42I'm leaving. I need to do my

15:44authorization.

15:46I'm authorized. Blah blah blah. Close

15:48the tab and continue. Yep. Okay.

15:52So you can choose which version you want

15:53to sync. You can choose the GitHub

15:56organization. So let's find your live

15:57stream.

15:59I don't remember exactly how you called

16:00it but You called it something. I think

16:03it's live stream demo but it's it's

16:05searching for it. Okay.

16:09Okay, right here.

16:11Cool. So we can use the main branch

16:14as main and we can use the same one for

16:16development. We don't

16:18spend too much

16:18I didn't create another branch. Okay.

16:21So if you were like working in a in a

16:23team with like a proper development

16:24setting you probably have two different

16:25branches.

16:26You'd push your changes to like a

16:30develop branch and then merge to

16:33main etc. Cuz hopefully your team's not

16:35letting you push directly to main.

16:37Okay.

16:39Cool. So collection directory, we're

16:42going to create collections later on to

16:43monitor etc.

16:45So we leave that to default and we let

16:47the we let Postman create a a specific

16:49folder for the collections. Okay. So

16:52yeah, connect repository. All right.

16:56Connected. Blah blah blah. Sync changes

16:58between the connected version and wait

17:00and the repository it said.

17:03Okay. Oh, okay.

17:06You don't push to main.

17:08Fix later, yeah.

17:10So here you can see actually what's

17:12happening. Oops.

17:14Um

17:16your there's nothing the the the main

17:19the remote branch is not in advance.

17:20There's nothing to pull

17:22and you're not

17:24your current setup is not ahead of the

17:27main either. There's zero changes to

17:29pull and zero changes to push. If you

17:31look at your repository on GitHub

17:37and you

17:39Now you can see The new directory? Yeah,

17:42with your schema in there. The

17:44exploratory, nice.

17:46Cool.

17:47Good stuff.

17:49But for now we haven't done anything of

17:50the three things that we said we would

17:52do. That was that was tough. That was

17:53tough.

17:55Um which are deploy, monitor and test.

17:58You keep reading it to see what we're

17:59going I go like wait, what are we

18:01supposed to do? I guess let's deploy cuz

18:03why not? And I know

18:06probably like a month back when we did

18:07live stream we looked at the server side

18:09code and

18:10um There's a you can actually deploy

18:13directly from Postman. So you can see

18:14that deployments tab there. You can you

18:16can click on that. Oh, if we were Yeah,

18:20with the AWS API Gateway.

18:21Um

18:23I tried that.

18:25There's a few reasons for which I do not

18:26want to do it now because it's in the

18:29AWS account that we share with the rest

18:31of Postman.

18:32And I'd rather not like

18:34share any of these tokens.

18:36Um so let's do differently. We'll just

18:38publish on our own end. But just so you

18:40know, you could deploy to AWS through

18:42here.

18:43We've actually released a a new version

18:45of that couple of weeks back. So if you

18:47look at the release notes or

18:49like blogs you'll find a a new

18:51description of how to how to set up your

18:54AWS API Gateway.

18:57So let's

18:58Is it because I said gateway again? You

19:00add an extra syllable to that word.

19:03Is it gateway?

19:04Gateway. Gateway. Yeah. Okay, cool.

19:09So let's go to the right hand side

19:10there.

19:11Um and go for the little code sign.

19:15Okay, so code generation here? Yep. So I

19:18see someone asking is it being recorded?

19:21It is

19:22100% being recorded. You can find it in

19:24the summary on LinkedIn or on YouTube.

19:27Um

19:27Cool. So yeah.

19:29It is recorded and you can come back to

19:31it later. You can watch it at half time

19:32cuz we're going so blazingly fast.

19:35Um

19:37Let's pick a language and framework. So

19:39that's going to generate like the server

19:40side code. So I usually go with Node.js

19:42because that's what I've

19:43used mostly in my life. Um so yeah,

19:47let's pick that one.

19:48adventurous some? Should we do like some

19:50random You're the one who's doing No,

19:52no, no, no, no, no,

19:53let's stick with no.

19:55Okay, okay.

19:56Um and we don't want it to only generate

19:59the roots in the face. We actually want

20:00it to generate everything. So, like all

20:02the all the server boilerplate.

20:04Um so, yeah, once you've done that, you

20:06can click generate code. Okay.

20:09Oh, no, am I going to have to unzip a

20:11file?

20:12You might have to. Um

20:14you have some you got this.

20:17Unfortunately, it doesn't show the the

20:19emoji, but Yes, please help us. Don't

20:21worry, my voice is very scary at half

20:23speed. Um

20:25I don't know what to do with that

20:26information. Gateway.

20:30Uh cool. So, you have that. Um let's

20:32unzip it somewhere.

20:34And we'll just I

20:39So, you can go

20:40Back.

20:41open your downloads in

20:43your other screen just in case you have

20:44I don't know I don't know if it's fine.

20:46Okay, I think it's okay.

20:48So, right click on it.

20:51Uh 7-Zip and extract to

20:54Okay.

20:55Extract to exploratory video in the

20:57gist. The one with the yeah, this one.

20:59Okay, so I'm unzipping that file.

21:01Cool.

21:02Um

21:04Now we can upload that to GitHub as

21:06well, right? Like we said GitHub is

21:08going to be our uh main source of truth

21:10uh for like working with the development

21:12team, etc. So, let's go back to GitHub.

21:16And you can do add file

21:18at the top there.

21:19And upload files. Aha.

21:22And you can just drag and drop the

21:24the content of the folder you just

21:26extracted.

21:29Yep. So, double click in it.

21:32Click that. No, no. I yeah.

21:35Sorry, how do I undo?

21:37Uh you can yeah.

21:38X out of these. Yeah, yeah.

21:40I don't even.

21:43What? So, go back to the folder, but

21:45open the folder.

21:47Okay.

21:48And then take all these. Oh, you can't

21:51just do a directory?

21:53Well, the thing is if you do a

21:54directory, it's going to Wait, does this

21:56work? Yep, yep, yep, of course.

21:58It's going to upload it as a directory

22:00in your repo as well, and it doesn't

22:02look I see. You want it at the root

22:04level. Okay.

22:05Yeah, yep. So, what did I just do?

22:08You added the Add that server

22:11side gener- code

22:14generated by Postman.

22:18Yeah. Cool. Let's come up with a

22:20description. Just kidding.

22:23Extended enough.

22:27Okay. Uh okay.

22:29Um let's have a look at Postman and see

22:31if now it says there's some changes on

22:33the

22:36Oh.

22:37Probably doesn't because it's not on the

22:39schema.

22:41I

22:42Yeah, it it's fine.

22:43refresh? I think it does I think it

22:45requires Does it? Well, I don't know.

22:47Uh no, no, I think it's just because

22:49it's the Okay.

22:51Like it's uh actually it is saying

22:52something.

22:53Yeah, I was playing with this the other

22:54day.

22:56So, this means this down arrow means

22:57there's something to pull from the

23:00remote. There's one commit to pull from

23:02the remote, and I just made one commit

23:04on the GitHub.

23:05Should I pull it?

23:07Yeah,

23:07you could pull it. Uh it shouldn't

23:09change much cuz you haven't changed the

23:13You haven't changed the schema, right?

23:14You want to change the

23:15nothing, but I want

23:17to be at the same commit hashtag as

23:20GitHub. Got it. Okay, so nothing will

23:21change

23:23in Postman. Yep.

23:27I I don't like that. Okay.

23:30Is it your OCD that's going to kick in?

23:32Okay.

23:33Um and now you wanted to you said you

23:34wanted to deploy using Heroku?

23:37I can. I logged in.

23:39Okay, let's do that then.

23:41But I won't be I won't be walking you

23:43through it. Okay, well.

23:44And so again, for for those who joined,

23:46uh the reason why we're deploying with

23:47Heroku is that we didn't want to

23:50spoil any of our AWS credentials

23:53using the AWS gateway.

23:54secret secret secrets. Okay.

23:56So, I don't really know what to do in

23:58Heroku, but I feel like it's pretty

24:00self-explanatory once we get into it.

24:02So, if there's any Heroku experts in

24:03there, please feel free to chime in.

24:06Uh

24:08I'm just going to create a new thingy.

24:09Okay, new app they call them.

24:13Uh what is this? Exploratory videos?

24:15Yep.

24:18API. Okay, so I'm not adding it Wait, I

24:21yeah.

24:22Dashes. Okay.

24:24Exploratory videos API.

24:27Available.

24:29Create app.

24:31Okay, good. We have

24:32Heroku experts.

24:35See, now you can actually connect to

24:36GitHub.

24:38Deploy.

24:39Like here?

24:40Yeah. Okay, so under the

24:43I'm under the deploy tab, connect to

24:44GitHub.

24:46Am I going to leak secrets?

24:48What was it? Live stream? Yep.

24:51Demo.

24:53If you just type live stream and click

24:55search, it should find it, right?

24:58In case it's Oh, it found it. Okay.

24:59It's behind my head, but uh

25:01let me pull this up. I

25:07Uh okay, okay.

25:11Uh connect. Mhm.

25:16Okay.

25:19Enable automatic deploys from GitHub

25:21from main because we're pushing directly

25:22to main. That's probably

25:24risky, but let's go ahead and

25:26automatically deploy.

25:28We don't have any tests yet, so we don't

25:30need to wait for CI to deploy.

25:34Deploy branch.

25:35Yep.

25:36Is it going to pull the or is it going

25:38to understand what to do with the NPM?

25:42Uh if it has the proper I think it does

25:45have the proper

25:46script, no? Start script, build script?

25:48like it. I didn't look to see if there

25:50was a build script in the server

25:52generated code.

25:53Okay. It's doing stuff. It's doing

25:55stuff. What happened? What happened?

25:56That's you.

25:58Okay, successfully deployed. View. It

26:00went through all these steps. It went

26:02ching ching ching.

26:03View.

26:04I not found.

26:06That's fine cuz that's the that's the

26:08root. It's not a website we deployed.

26:10It's an API.

26:11Yeah, but

26:13Okay.

26:13So, there's probably nothing at the

26:15roots, but if you do {slash} videos

26:17Should we do this in Postman?

26:20I just want to make sure that it's

26:21running. Oh, so it might not have

26:23worked.

26:24Not found. I Yeah.

26:27So, let's just take a look at what we

26:28deployed first of all. I didn't even

26:30look at that. Let's look at the I think

26:32the package.json.

26:38So, not that. Is there another? It's the

26:41start server.js. Server.js.

26:51Yeah, so you have or the Postman snippet

26:55generates like the alternative if you

26:57don't specify. So, the I I've deployed

26:59one thing on Heroku within the last like

27:01month, and I had to put in some

27:04variables.

27:06But I don't think any is needed. Oh.

27:10Yeah, cuz it switches between it it

27:13allows either the local host or

27:16something Yep. designated. Yeah, it

27:18shouldn't appear. Okay, that's fine. Um

27:21I can just send you a a URL for it.

27:24Okay. Let me just find it cuz All right,

27:27if anyone knows how to fix this on

27:28Heroku, let us know.

27:31Um

27:32Oh, Procfile.

27:35Uh-huh. I didn't need a Procfile for

27:39the lat- Well, maybe actually I just

27:41deployed something else that I didn't

27:42look at, so maybe it had a Procfile

27:43already in it.

27:47Um let me do

27:50Yes, that's still running, and then

28:03Add a star.

28:05So, we're getting some suggestions for

28:10getting started. Yeah, I'm sending you

28:13um

28:13a URL.

28:15Okay.

28:16That's what we're going to use for the

28:18ngrok.

28:19So, what I've done uh

28:21for anyone that's watching, all I have

28:23is I have the same code running on my

28:24PC,

28:25uh and I've just used ngrok to create a

28:27tunnel between

28:29the outside world and my PC. So, now

28:32uh we have that code running, and it's

28:34it's deployed. So, deploy tick even

28:36though we haven't used a full-on like

28:39Postman feature of the

28:40cloud provider. Yeah.

28:41Yeah.

28:42Um

28:44Now we need to test. So, we have that

28:45running. So, let's go let's go back to

28:47Postman.

28:49Do you want me to put the base URL

28:50somewhere?

28:51Yeah, so that's what that's what we're

28:53going to do now. So, first we'll uh

28:55You can go back to full screen, I think.

28:58Oh.

28:59Yeah. Okay.

29:00And go back to the definition.

29:02So,

29:04what we know is that we have this exact

29:06definition that is deployed, right?

29:09So, two options here. Either you create

29:11a collection manually, you read through

29:13your definition, you create an endpoint

29:15for each of them, etc. Uh or you

29:18generate a collection to test.

29:20Yes, let's generate.

29:22Let's just generate. Oh, what if the

29:24rest of the stream was me manually like

29:26looking back and forth?

29:28Okay, so let's generate. This will be

29:31Oops.

29:38Um is it

29:39documentation or is it tests? Oh, sorry.

29:43Tests.

29:44Okay, so we categorize it as test the

29:47API.

29:49And then I wasn't paying attention to

29:51what you were saying. Okay. So I'm going

29:52to generate a collection

29:54from the schema and it's been generated.

29:56View and edit the collection in the

29:58sidebar. That was behind our heads so I

29:59just read it out loud. Yeah. And now so

30:01you don't actually have to go all the

30:02way up. Stay stay in API.

30:05Oh over here? No, no, no. Stay stay in

30:07the in the tab on the left. Yep. Okay,

30:09I'm here.

30:10Yeah. And see this carrot next to V1? I

30:14And that's your collection that's here

30:15as well. That's the one.

30:15Associated with that. Yeah. Yeah.

30:17I did talk to somebody I did talk to

30:19somebody that was confused and they were

30:21like, is this a different collection

30:22than this one? The one on the

30:24collections.

30:25Yeah. It is the same one. It's just a

30:26different way to access it.

30:27a pointer. Yeah.

30:28Um you can also see it in the test tab

30:29where you were going to go

30:31um

30:32on the right.

30:34Yeah.

30:35So I'm in the builder on the schema and

30:37then it's

30:38have it here.

30:39Here. Oh, no runs yet. Oh, I

30:41I'm going to it I'm going to look

30:43forward to using this part. Okay.

30:46Okay. So let's go to the collection and

30:47add some tests.

30:49Okay.

30:50For example, um

30:52look at the variables as well actually.

30:56Local host.

30:56base URL which is local host. It's not

30:58that anymore. It's the the one that I

31:00sent to you so you can replace that with

31:02the

31:04Okay. So should I replace both values?

31:08Uh you can replace just current. Okay.

31:11And I'll save.

31:11we're going to use. When we do when we

31:13do the monitor which runs on the cloud

31:15we need to replace the initial.

31:16Okay. Um I mean you can pass this now if

31:19if it's the same thing.

31:20Okay. I'll forget later. Yeah.

31:23Okay. So let's go on the first endpoint.

31:24Just make sure it works. Okay. So get

31:26list all videos. Get request list all

31:29videos. Base URLs has the ngrok. It has

31:32the initial and current value.

31:35Going to /videos/all.

31:38Should I just hit send? Let's see if

31:39that works. Okay.

31:42Okay.

31:42That works. Yes.

31:45Even though obviously it's it's using

31:47like mocked data, right? Like we've not

31:49uh

31:51It is not my home IP.

31:54Um cuz we have we using that. Um

31:58Yeah. So it's using mock data. I've not

32:00coded the whole back end etc. Um

32:03we have a seven bullet eight and all it

32:05does is returning the examples that are

32:07saved in the API definition.

32:09Uh so that's working.

32:10I look in the definition would I see

32:12some of this mocked data?

32:15Well, you can actually click on the

32:15three issues there at the top.

32:19And it says, if we compare it to at the

32:22definition,

32:23um it's meant to be an array but you

32:25only have one.

32:26Um and it's meant to be

32:29um there's meant to be a video ID which

32:32is not finding here.

32:33Um

32:35I don't know what happened. Uh where was

32:37I? Issues. Yeah. Okay.

32:40Um so it's telling you it compares what

32:42you sent with the schema

32:44and says like what's not working.

32:46Um but yeah, you would see the same

32:48thing. Actually you can you can go and

32:49explore it from uh from the definition

32:51tab then on the left.

32:54Again. Yep.

32:56And if you go and scroll down you can

32:58see videos all

32:59uh response.

33:02Yep. You scroll.

33:03Videos all?

33:04Yep. So this one

33:07responses is type array of items.

33:10And this item if you sc- can you scroll

33:12just a bit more cuz it's behind our

33:13faces. Yep.

33:15It's an array of videos. So now you can

33:17scroll back to the components at the

33:18bottom.

33:21What?

33:22definition.

33:23Components?

33:24Yep. And we have a video

33:26which is name, URL, and views.

33:31Okay. So you're defining what the data

33:34should come back as and then Postman has

33:38Oh, what tab was it on this one? This

33:40one, yeah. When we make the call it's

33:42saying, okay, here's what would come

33:43back. Okay. Yep.

33:45Uh cool. So what do we want to test

33:47here? We probably want to test that it's

33:49uh first it's working so it's 200 okay.

33:51Um

33:53What else we can

33:53share the ngrok with others? Is that

33:55dangerous?

33:56I mean no, it's not.

33:59Let me Should we post

34:00I'll I'll put it in the

34:01put it in the chat for everyone.

34:03Um

34:05And I'll send it. Shuvank, don't DDoS

34:08us, please. Otherwise this will bring us

34:11This will make

34:12Me?

34:12It's ngrok. I don't think.

34:15It's not it's not going to hit like my

34:17uh

34:18my PC directly.

34:22Um

34:24Okay. So let's go in the tests tab.

34:27Okay. So I'm in the request under tests.

34:32And we'll just add um

34:34let's add a

34:35um

34:36response is 200 uh snippet.

34:39Okay. Should we do that to the

34:40collection?

34:42Oh, we could actually do it at the

34:43collection level, yeah. Okay. Because I

34:45assume we want the same 200 back from

34:47this get request. So let's just add that

34:49here.

34:51So I just selected the collection that's

34:53beneath the schema. This is kind of like

34:55weird. I I'm not used to seeing it

34:57nested under here but it's nice to see

34:58them all associated with the API. So I'm

35:01in the collection and under tests

35:04I'm going to add a collection level test

35:06by again

35:08not writing code

35:09but inserting the snippet. So this is

35:11going to check

35:12that the response has a status code of

35:15200 after every request in this

35:17collection. I'll save. Okay.

35:20Yep. And then um we could do list all

35:23videos again but this time got the

35:25request level.

35:27And we'd have a more personalized test

35:28and we can test like that. Uh for

35:30example,

35:31the response contains uh a name, a URL,

35:35and a

35:38Okay. Let me look for a similar Is there

35:40a similar one?

35:41Uh Contains

35:42There is a few. Well, yeah but you're

35:44going compare it to to a string which is

35:46Yeah, we'll change that. But body

35:49contains properties

35:51is what we want to say, right?

35:53Yep.

35:55So PM.expect

35:57I'll say

35:59PM.response.

36:02json

36:03to include

36:07two

36:07think is it is it does it JSON value

36:10check if you want I think. Okay. In the

36:12snippets you mean? Yeah.

36:16This one?

36:17Yeah. Let's replace that with

36:20response body

36:22JSON value check.

36:26Uh so we're going to

36:31Won't this um error if it's not there?

36:34Is that the whole point? Yeah. It should

36:36So you should always have um a name that

36:39for now is string. You should always

36:40have a URL which is string and views

36:42that is number. Does that make sense?

36:46Yeah but in You mean like JSON data

36:50name? dot name?

36:53Yeah.

36:53To equal name?

36:55To equal string. Ah. Not to equal

36:57string.

36:58I see. I see.

37:00Is this how you write it though?

37:04Should we look up the Chai JS docs?

37:07Oh I mean you can you can you can try it

37:09and send it here. So replace the 100

37:11with like a string

37:13which says string.

37:15Okay.

37:15And with the

37:17things on the side. Just like it is in

37:18the in the JSON response.

37:23Okay. To equal

37:26Like literally what is in the

37:28the value. Yeah.

37:30Okay. Now if you send that

37:32Okay. So we're not saying we're just

37:33saying that we're parsing the response

37:36object and checking the value. Yep.

37:38Okay. Try it.

37:40Yeah. Let's see.

37:43Okay. Okay. So status code is 200.

37:45That's the collection level test and

37:47then this one that we

37:49called your test name

37:51is passing.

37:53So what we could do now is take a look

37:55at our expected body

37:57and just say

38:00Oh yeah, we could compare the

38:01all of our properties.

38:03So URL should equal once again string.

38:06We're trying to assert that it's there

38:09in JSON data to equal

38:13number.

38:16And then we'll call this um

38:19data types are correct.

38:23Like this is not a good test name I'm

38:25sure.

38:27If you have better ideas, let me know.

38:29And then

38:30save. Save.

38:31a

38:32Yeah. We have a question about um

38:35is it possible to do it with CI/CD? Yes,

38:38it is.

38:39Uh and we'll go through that after after

38:41we've done that.

38:42But we'll Give us a Give us a few

38:44minutes.

38:46Um cool.

38:49We've added some tests.

38:52They pass for now.

38:55But because they pass at

38:57this instant T doesn't mean it's going

38:59to always pass. So now we just want to

39:00we want to monitor that API

39:02and we want to make sure it's always the

39:03case.

39:05And we can leverage that same

39:06collection.

39:07So now if you um click So go back to

39:11your

39:12uh API definition. So the first tab that

39:14you have.

39:18And go in the monitoring

39:20tab. Okay. So I'm in the API under the

39:23tabs monitoring. Oh, this is where that

39:24new In case you missed it we talked Oh,

39:26look at all of them. There's so many.

39:29Yeah. So for now we just create a

39:32uh add monitor to the right there. Okay.

39:34A Postman monitor. Yeah. A Postman

39:36monitor. Okay.

39:38And we do

39:39we can uh create a new monitor. Yep.

39:41Okay. Cuz I don't have an existing one

39:43here yet. And we can use an existing

39:45collection and we can use the one that

39:47we

39:48Okay. have just created with tests. Yep.

39:50Tests. Okay.

39:52Yep. So we're going to be scheduling

39:54these tests to run on Postman Cloud.

39:57Yep.

40:00What do we call it?

40:03Exploratory

40:05monitor.

40:07Health check.

40:09You like that?

40:10like I like that. Okay.

40:12Uh there's no environment. Uh you can

40:14run it

40:15um whenever.

40:18Every 5 minutes. Yeah. Let Let's do that

40:21for now cuz then we can see like running

40:22a few times.

40:25Uh yep, that's fine.

40:26me just uncheck that.

40:29I don't want to receive notifications,

40:30but I mean if this was like a real

40:32example, I probably would.

40:33Yeah. All right. Automatically select

40:35region. I'm fine with that.

40:37Yep. Create monitor.

40:43Okay, so now we have a monitor and we

40:44can go in the left-hand side in the

40:46monitors.

40:48Okay.

40:49Uh click on your uh monitor. Health

40:53check.

40:55And then run it. Uh we could wait 5

40:58minutes, but I mean we already way over

41:00time. That would be an amazing live

41:02stream if we just waited for a monitor

41:04to kick in.

41:06Okay, so it looks green. And if I want

41:10to see what happened, I can click on

41:12that run and say, "Okay, here's that

41:14call. Pass, pass, pass." So the status

41:17code is 200 at the collection level,

41:18which we said is going to run for every

41:20request in that collection. Yep. And

41:22then this is the one that we just wrote

41:24that is geniusly named data types are

41:26correct.

41:28Yeah. Now let's try to run it again and

41:30see what happens.

41:31Okay. Run it again.

41:33We're manually triggering it.

41:38Obviously that would

41:39Processing.

41:41Every 5 minutes usually. What happened?

41:43What happened?

41:45I don't know. Let's have a look.

41:46Okay.

41:47Fail, fail, fail.

41:49Ah, maybe the service is down.

41:53So I took it down.

41:53do that? Okay.

41:55I did.

41:56Just wanted to prove that uh it was

41:58working. And now um now if you try again

42:01So if I had that email um alert set up,

42:03I would have received a beautiful email

42:06about it. Okay, so do it again. You turn

42:07it back on theoretically or I don't

42:09know. Who knows? Is it on or off?

42:12it's Postman Cloud that runs the

42:13monitors test. Yeah, so the the the

42:15collection runs in the

42:17in the Postman world. Okay.

42:19Um surprisingly enough, this is telling

42:22you it's working.

42:24maybe I changed the wrong one.

42:27Too many N Groks. It is working. You can

42:30clearly see.

42:34Yeah, let's try again.

42:37I really want to break it, but yeah.

42:38Okay, so I'm running it again. Who knows

42:40what we'll get. This is just the dice

42:42roll.

42:44Fail.

42:44Ah.

42:45Not completely failed though. Okay, so

42:47we got status code is 200, but then the

42:49fail. So let's filter on this because

42:52Okay, so there's this one data types are

42:54correct. If I had any log statements,

42:56which I don't think we wrote a single

42:58log statement, we could look under here.

43:01Oh, but we could see the errors.

43:02Yeah, and you can actually see that it

43:04expected

43:06not string to deeply equal string.

43:10So what did you do? I just replaced the

43:12string by not string. Oh.

43:16That's what I did. Okay. So Okay.

43:19Agreed. Uh

43:21we Dave

43:23Dave's had to see failed test. And yeah,

43:25you hate to see it, but also

43:27would you rather

43:28not see it

43:31and need to happen anyway?

43:32Or would you rather see it and then you

43:34can

43:35actually fix it

43:36and see why it's not working.

43:38Yeah. The um great Valentine Despa

43:41always says, "Make sure you write tests

43:43that can fail, otherwise you're why even

43:45write tests?" Yeah, exactly.

43:48Um cool.

43:50So I think we've done and I'm looking

43:51again, we've deployed.

43:53We've tested and we've monitored. Um

43:56I'm really we're probably not if we had

43:58to do like code coverage

44:00we don't have 100% code coverage.

44:03Um

44:05but we have some tests and we have some

44:08a Brazilian more tests if we wanted to.

44:10Yeah, and now um

44:12I think we can go into

44:14Uh first I I do want to I do want to

44:16play to the question about the

44:17integration with CI/CD. So if you go

44:20back to your

44:21um

44:21before we leave that real quick,

44:23somebody had asked about like how do you

44:25test a 429 here? So I thought that was

44:28interesting cuz I I just worked on

44:29something related to that. So 429 is too

44:32many requests.

44:33Um and so if you get rate limited, um

44:36how do you test that your rate limits

44:38are actually working? And you could sit

44:40there and ping ping ping ping ping ping

44:41ping if you wanted to and hit the rate

44:43limit and you're like, "Yep, it's

44:44working." Um but a lot of times in more

44:47sophisticated test suites, your

44:49developers are going to be angry if you

44:51keep um you know, hitting the rate

44:53limits intentionally. And so of course

44:56you want to check to make sure the rate

44:57limits are working, but then in broader

44:59flows, you also want to check to make

45:01you want to um

45:03you can use a mock server to return a

45:05429 response without actually invoking a

45:08429 or in eliciting a 429 on your

45:12production servers. So that's a that's a

45:14good question.

45:15Sorry, you were saying CI/CD, Arlemi.

45:17Yeah, CI/CD. So if you go back to the V1

45:20tab.

45:22Yep, so you can see there's a Oh, look

45:25at this. Oh, that is cool. It's like a

45:27Christmas candy cane.

45:29remember seeing that. Yeah, this is the

45:31screenshot you showed us in case you

45:33missed it. Yeah, I mean that was

45:34released this morning, so that's

45:35probably why I didn't see it before. I

45:37see. Look at that. Oh, there's nice

45:38metrics and stuff. Okay.

45:42We work for Postman, we promise.

45:46What's brand new? It's brand new as of

45:47this morning. It is brand new.

45:49Uh let's Okay, let's go back to the to

45:51this part. Let's just quickly go to uh

45:53deployment.

45:55Okay, this side? Yep. Okay, so tab

45:58deployment.

45:58Uh no, sorry. Uh the Is it in test? I

46:01think it's in test.

46:03Yeah, this one. Um

46:05so yeah, the question was about CI/CD,

46:06so you can also

46:08uh that test collection could be part of

46:09your um

46:11CI/CD pipeline.

46:13Um it's using uh whichever like

46:16CircleCI or TravisCI

46:19whatever they're running in.

46:20Um runs the collection, if it fails

46:23your pipeline fails,

46:25the deploy doesn't happen.

46:27Um

46:29I don't know if you have an account.

46:31I do have an account, but um I've done

46:33the CircleCI I've done the CircleCI

46:34integration. What you need to do is have

46:36a pipeline, clearly. Have a pipeline and

46:39then you'll need to drop your token in

46:40here. Um

46:42I can click through and generate one,

46:44but I

46:45don't want to

46:45But then you would need to be using

46:46CircleCI to deploy, which we are not.

46:48Yeah. Yeah.

46:50Um okay, so let's go back to the cool

46:52bar graph cuz I think that's pretty

46:54cool.

46:55Uh which was here in monitoring.

46:58So there's also this little like Oh, one

47:00thing we didn't do actually, you can go

47:01in tests. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

47:04Yeah, and here you can see there's like

47:06um a run test to the right when you

47:08hover on it.

47:10Okay.

47:11So you can trigger the the test from

47:12here. All it does it doesn't use the the

47:15monitor, it just runs it um

47:17locally.

47:18And then now you have the if you go back

47:20to your

47:21um

47:22So you can see what failed or didn't.

47:24And here you can see, "Oh, last run

47:26results uh one of three failed."

47:29And uh yeah, it's

47:32a

47:32you can see you can see your test runs

47:35under test locally and you can see it

47:37says source Postman collection runner,

47:39helpful. And then under monitoring, you

47:42can see your test runs on Postman Cloud.

47:45Does it say source Postman Cloud? No,

47:47but I mean it's a Postman monitor. So

47:49you just kind of have to know that

47:51monitors run on Postman Cloud.

47:53Okay, and now we could connect this one

47:55with other ones. Let's see. So there's

47:56an add button now.

47:59Add monitor?

48:01No, next to connected with. Yeah. Apps

48:03configured. Okay, so connect the monitor

48:06with

48:08more monitoring tools. Yeah.

48:12Any any one that you're interested in?

48:16Uh well, I don't use all of these tools,

48:18clearly, but I have logins for

48:21I feel like New Relic's really popular.

48:23I don't have a login for that, but we

48:25can always create an account. Release

48:27saying Slack. Slackety Slack. Will I

48:30leak secrets though? Um I can actually

48:33So you're in a team workspace, right?

48:35Right now, yes. So I could join and link

48:38it to my personal Slack. Yes. Guys,

48:41let's be slacking stuff to Arlemi's.

48:43Let's have Arlemi leak secrets. And

48:45let's do um

48:47let's prove the power of collaboration

48:48as well cuz I'm going to just jump in

48:50yours. And that that's actually also

48:52allow me allowing me to cover how I

48:55changed the not string thing. One one

48:57thing I will say is like, "Well, why do

48:59you have other monitoring tools? Um like

49:01you're monitoring with Postman already

49:03on Postman Cloud." But you know, like

49:07a lot of these tools you're already

49:08using for other projects. There's more

49:10visibility. Um this is an entire

49:12platform solely for monitoring. Um

49:15Postman engineering, we use Slack quite

49:17a bit. So SlackOps they call it. Uh we

49:20have a lot of our failures piped in

49:21through Slack. I know a lot of people do

49:23PagerDuty. Um I do have a login for

49:25PagerDuty if you wanted me to use that,

49:27but it's you know, I don't think they

49:29use pagers anymore. Do they? Do you know

49:31what a pager is, Arlemi?

49:33I know what a pager is, yes.

49:34Okay, okay.

49:35So are you going to share your screen or

49:37do you want me to just

49:38I can I can share my screen.

49:39good.

49:42Cool. Um

49:43that's just like So, let's first quickly

49:46say someone asked like where did I

49:47change the not string? Actually, I have

49:49the That's the app running on my PC. So,

49:51you can see like whenever um the monitor

49:54or Joyce was calling the the endpoint, I

49:56would see it here. And all I've done is

49:58just changing it here.

49:59We started the app and uh that's that's

50:02about it. So, let's go to

50:07this one.

50:07Wait, sorry. Can you go back one more

50:09time? Oop.

50:10Sorry. That's a really good point cuz I

50:12was confused about like where is this

50:13data coming from? It's generated from

50:15the Postman boilerplate. And you can see

50:18on row What is that? 90 or whatever var

50:21data? I can't see the row number, but 92

50:25It's it's a hard-coded object. This is

50:28going to be our uh schema, if you will,

50:30that is being returned. But, you would

50:32obviously want to swap it in with your

50:34actual business logic. Like maybe you

50:36have a query to your database or maybe

50:39you have a you're invoking some sort of

50:41like serverless function or like

50:42whatever. Yeah.

50:43It's hard-coded that variable that JSON

50:46object um var data, but it would

50:49actually be probably a database query.

50:52And uh the the server-side code

50:54generation tells you where you need to

50:56implement the logic actually, like right

50:57here.

50:58Um

51:00will this live stream be available to

51:01rewatch? Yes. Uh you just come back to

51:03the same place uh once we're done, it

51:06will be there waiting for you. Uh do we

51:08have this app repo shared with us

51:10somewhere? Yes. Um actually, so Joyce

51:13posted it on

51:15um

51:17on GitHub. What's your

51:21Joyce Efer? Oh, Loop Delicious on

51:23GitHub? I can drop a link in the here.

51:27We'll drop a link in the in the chat for

51:29you.

51:29Oh, wait. Can I do it?

51:31Yeah, you should be able to.

51:32All the power.

51:33Yeah.

51:33So, now let's go and you called your

51:35workspace

51:37um

51:38It's our team workspace. It is a team

51:40workspace, so what's the name of it?

51:41Live stream demo.

51:45We're good. Dash demo.

51:49Superb explanation.

51:53Okay, so we can see uh

51:55what Joyce created prior.

51:57Um I can actually see the monitor here.

51:59Can see it's failing.

52:01Um I can see the collection here for

52:03tests. Uh the different um variables

52:06etc. What we wanted to do was connect to

52:09Slack. So, let's go in monitoring and

52:11add a new app. So, let's see what it

52:13asks for. I actually don't know.

52:15Um Slack.

52:18Okay.

52:20So, I do not want to connect to the

52:23Postman Slack. I want to connect to the

52:24Allen E one. That's better.

52:27Um

52:29it will be able to view the content info

52:30about me.

52:32And

52:34it will post to general.

52:41Okay. Ooh, can I make something fail

52:43on my end or are you going to

52:44Uh let me go to my Slack first.

52:48Let me actually just

52:49open it here just in case.

52:54Okay, cool. It's fine. It's nothing

52:55there. So, that's my um

52:58it's my personal Slack instance. I just

52:59use it for testing. As you can see, it's

53:00just like random things etc. Uh but now

53:04So, Joyce, do you want to just start the

53:06Click monitor run? Yeah. Click on

53:09monitor run.

53:09failing unless you fixed it. It should

53:11be failing, yeah. It should be.

53:14I didn't fix it on my end. Okay. So, I

53:16just trigger I just triggered it. Do you

53:19know how real time it is though?

53:21I do not know.

53:23Um Let me see if it ran actually.

53:27Okay, it ran.

53:35Not seeing it.

53:36you can see it. You can look at the

53:37results in the

53:37go uh Oh, I think I didn't finish the

53:40integration. That's my bad. I had to

53:43had to configure some stuff on the

53:44Postman side again. So, let's do it

53:46again. Slack. Continue. Oh, yeah.

53:50Connect to this one. General.

53:53Allow.

53:54And then, I'm authorized, but I need to

53:56go back here

53:58and say Finish setting it up. Okay.

54:00alerts.

54:02I need to choose the monitor.

54:04Um

54:05notify for all completed or notify for

54:07three failures and then first success.

54:09No.

54:09Everything. I want

54:10Well, that's nice that you have the

54:11option though, so it's not too

54:12All of them notifications. And now, ooh,

54:15that is nice.

54:15Ooh, I like that. Should I trigger it

54:17again? Little double hashtag there. Uh

54:20we need to

54:23Um I'll trigger it, so then we can see

54:25actually like both.

54:26Okay.

54:28Ah, can I get the run?

54:32Run.

54:37Haha.

54:38but yeah. Haha. It failed.

54:41Yay! Congrats, everyone. It failed.

54:43Failure.

54:45Uh what can we see?

54:47I have a link to the monitor. Link to

54:49the collection. Uh

54:52two requests run and one test failed.

54:54One test. We need to correct that.

54:57Um

54:59failed test pass two of three.

55:02Uh it's cool.

55:03Yeah, so that's a So, Willie Garrett is

55:06saying that is saying comp in a

55:09complimentary fashion, I believe, um

55:11that there's a lot of test res uh test

55:14result details.

55:15Do you know if we can customize that

55:17output?

55:18You mean this one? Yeah, like what gets

55:21shown displayed in Slack?

55:24Uh the options I had were

55:28Let's see.

55:29No, I think that's all you can do. So,

55:32the the general monitoring alerting

55:35notification is um

55:37a default It looks like it's a default

55:39display, but in the in the Postman

55:41office, we constantly use the Slack

55:43webhook. I think it's called inbound

55:46webhook, if I'm not mistaken. We

55:47constantly use that in a collection to

55:50run our tests and then it like you can

55:53customize it. Like you could put a

55:54picture of your face on there, like

55:56whatever you want.

55:58Yep.

55:59Um cool. We could connect more. We could

56:02connect all of them, if you had the

56:03time,

56:04but I think we also want to do Yeah, we

56:07want to do the drawing, too.

56:09We do want to do uh the drawing. So,

56:12and I think I mean, likely, a lot of

56:15people are here for that.

56:16Just to know who's won.

56:18Should we should we go for it? You think

56:20so? You think people are here for the

56:21drawing or do they want to hear more

56:23about integrations? Do we want to set up

56:25a

56:26New Relic?

56:29See, I mean, if you feel like it.

56:33I don't know. Okay, let's keep going.

56:35Um

56:37We did have a question.

56:39Uh somebody is really needs some help.

56:41Um

56:42Oh, let's see.

56:43Uh Mahesh is saying,

56:45"Does Postman support two body types in

56:47the same request? I don't think so.

56:50Um I'm trying to send XML and an image.

56:52This is working in SoapUI. Uh please

56:55guide help." So, when you create a

56:57request here, let's see this one,

57:00um

57:02I'm guessing if you're using form data,

57:05you could have this one send

57:07a file

57:09and you put your image here.

57:11So, for example, that image. And then

57:12here, you could have text

57:14any other type of

57:16um

57:17your other type of uh data.

57:21So, I don't know. Maybe uh XML and here

57:24you put your

57:27XML data.

57:31I have no clue if that works.

57:34Um I'm just thinking that's one way that

57:36you can send two different stuff uh

57:37through

57:39through requests. Um

57:43Yeah. That would be that would be my

57:45answer. I'm going to cancel all this cuz

57:47I do not want to save that.

57:49Um

57:52"I didn't know this channel existed. Um

57:55great content. Thank you.

57:56Any future NPM wider packages support?"

57:59Cesar, we're here every week. Stop by in

58:02the future.

58:03I'm not sure which

58:06um

58:07Are you talking about using different

58:09libraries in the in the test, for

58:11example?

58:13Um

58:15I don't have any direct answer to that.

58:17My guess is yes, we'll add more um as

58:21time passes by, but I can't tell you

58:23we're going to add that one at that

58:24date.

58:25We also have

58:27Yeah, go for it. We also have um like

58:29Newman and a ton of other NPM um

58:31projects. So, if that's what you were

58:34asking, let us know.

58:35No, I think yeah, it was

58:37Oh, it's in the sandbox. Okay. Yeah. Uh

58:39yeah, we've had a

58:40So, we have some examples of using um

58:43using external libraries. If you if you

58:45do not want to wait for them to be

58:46supported, uh if you look at

58:51There's a um

58:53It's been one of the

58:54one of the commonly asked questions and

58:56I have it saved here.

59:00Oop.

59:03Yeah, so there's this question that is

59:04seen a lot on the community forum. Uh

59:07and there's a few examples in there of

59:08how to add external libraries. So, I'm

59:10going to

59:12put that in the

59:13There's one in 30 days of Postman, too.

59:14I'll pull that link.

59:16But yeah, um

59:18there's options to do it even if it's

59:20not like uh directly supported. So, you

59:22and you can add Crypto.js with that

59:24uh without any real any issues.

59:28Okay, let's see if you have any any more

59:29questions.

59:31Hey Shiva, it's been a it's been a

59:32while.

59:35Look at the ad blocker, yeah. I'm I'm

59:36using an ad blocker.

59:39There is a Postman community.

59:41Tons of questions coming in now.

59:43Uh

59:43Postman community is

59:46community.postman.com.

59:48Uh and you can log in so if you have a

59:49Postman account,

59:51you can log in using your Postman

59:52account. Um and yeah, there's like tons

59:55of stuff in here.

59:56You can showcase your work. You can ask

59:58questions. Um we usually like whenever

1:00:01we do a live stream or webinar today, I

1:00:03will advertise it there.

1:00:06Um

1:00:07yeah, and then there's some private

1:00:08stuff at the bottom I'm not going to

1:00:10show.

1:00:11Actually, it says we're live on Twitch.

1:00:13So whenever we're live, there's this

1:00:14little banner that we built on the

1:00:16stream

1:00:17uh that shows that we're live.

1:00:20It runs on a monitor, right? Yeah, it

1:00:22runs on a monitor. It checks every 5

1:00:23minutes if the stream is up and if the

1:00:25stream is up, it adds that to the

1:00:27to the forum.

1:00:29Uh cool. All right.

1:00:31Postman questions.

1:00:32time.

1:00:33time. Let's have a look.

1:00:35Um

1:00:37Let's have a look. Let's have a look. I

1:00:38think I have it here.

1:00:41So we did a um

1:00:44we did a drawing. Was it a month back

1:00:46for the end of the year?

1:00:48I want to say. Uh yeah, it was um

1:00:52we had a full month. This is the last

1:00:54day well, day of the month that we

1:00:56expecting people to to write that link

1:00:58somewhere?

1:00:59I dropped this but it doesn't post in

1:01:01LinkedIn so I wasn't sure if somebody

1:01:03wanted to see it. I don't know.

1:01:04I can I can post it on LinkedIn. Okay,

1:01:05okay.

1:01:06Uh can you send it to me on the private

1:01:08chat? Yes.

1:01:12Uh yeah, so we had like almost 30 days.

1:01:15Um I asked a bunch of Postmanauts, what

1:01:17is your favorite feature?

1:01:19Um and you know, some people had really

1:01:20good favorite features and other people

1:01:22are like, I can't I can't decide between

1:01:25these two or whatever. So we created a

1:01:27little montage of Postmanauts saying

1:01:29what their favorite things were and then

1:01:31we asked everyone else, what is your

1:01:33favorite thing? And if you tweeted using

1:01:36there's still time, by the way. There's

1:01:38still time to tweet. It's a

1:01:39beautiful

1:01:40Cutting it close but um if you tweet

1:01:42using the #postmanfavorites

1:01:45hashtag

1:01:47uh and tell us what your favorite um

1:01:49Postman feature is, we're about to

1:01:51select the winners.

1:01:53Um and it really depends so I think.

1:01:56So JW Banning, you need to tweet.

1:01:59You need to tweet to qualify. So you can

1:02:02Caesar like if you're welcome to tell us

1:02:04here but to qualify for the drawing, you

1:02:06need a tweet with that hashtag. I'm just

1:02:08going to put it out there. This is not

1:02:09open for Postmanauts.

1:02:11You know?

1:02:12It's only FOR NON-POSTMANAUTS.

1:02:16THOUGHT WE NEEDED TO SAY. BRUTAL.

1:02:20Um So you're going to be using the

1:02:23Twitter API. That's why we can't we

1:02:24can't pull it from just random people

1:02:27telling us on the street. You're going

1:02:28to be

1:02:29doing some coding, maybe.

1:02:31Um because we just said it again, I will

1:02:34I want to give people

1:02:35uh 1 1 minute to do it and we had

1:02:37another question about why don't we have

1:02:40a YouTube channel to post all this? We

1:02:41do have a YouTube channel.

1:02:42Who is asking that why didn't we have a

1:02:44YouTube?

1:02:45one to find cuz it's just

1:02:46youtube.com/postman.

1:02:48Postman.

1:02:50And here you see us. We're live right

1:02:52now. I'm not going to click on it cuz

1:02:53then it's going to be

1:02:54it. Echo. Echo.

1:02:55No, I'm not Yeah, I'm not going to click

1:02:56on it.

1:02:57There's everything. There's

1:02:59a podcast that we do. There's longer

1:03:00version videos of how to do things in

1:03:03Postman and the replays of the live

1:03:05streams uh here. Exactly. So the live

1:03:09stream from today will be there as well.

1:03:10Yeah, like John's work alias was

1:03:12changing my light earlier and um

1:03:14mentioned I didn't even remember which

1:03:16live stream it was but uh take your kids

1:03:18to work day, we show people how to

1:03:20change the color of the light in my

1:03:21kitchen which you can barely see anymore

1:03:23cuz the sun has risen.

1:03:26Um play the video. Which which video? He

1:03:29wants to hear the squeals. Oh, he was

1:03:32No, I'm not going to play the video.

1:03:33Um

1:03:37have so many new people. Thank you new

1:03:39people for joining.

1:03:40Thank you.

1:03:41Accolades. Thanks, Mike.

1:03:42Okay, let's do that.

1:03:44Um so

1:03:45Chippity chop. Let's see. We So last

1:03:48time we tweeted it was using the Postman

1:03:50live

1:03:52um hashtag so we want to change that.

1:03:55Let's see. Where is that? So that's

1:03:56here.

1:03:58Um I want to see if the query can do and

1:04:02cuz like one thing that we noticed is

1:04:03that even though we try to be as clear

1:04:06as possible in the

1:04:08uh in the rules that it needs to use

1:04:09that the Postman favorites and the

1:04:11American spelling of it. It's American

1:04:13spelling, yes. I think some people may

1:04:15have used another spelling. So I'm going

1:04:17to do

1:04:18just so you know,

1:04:19I'm going to run it a couple times. I'm

1:04:20going to do some tryouts. Uh

1:04:23it's not going to say who's winning.

1:04:25Yeah. The official winner will say it

1:04:27before. We'll say this time

1:04:29whoever we pick is the winner. So let us

1:04:31first try

1:04:33um

1:04:34Postman.

1:04:35While you're working on that, uh

1:04:36Tanmayo asked about pausing deleting

1:04:39running monitors for 30 days of Postman

1:04:41challenge or keep them running. So um I

1:04:44would recommend you can pause it. So if

1:04:46you delete it, it goes away forever. You

1:04:47can't see what what you did and how you

1:04:49set it up but just pause it. There's an

1:04:52option in the UI to pause it.

1:04:55Go ahead.

1:04:55Okay.

1:04:56So I'm getting some results. That's

1:04:58great. Some people that have tweeted me

1:05:00that one. I want to see here.

1:05:03Huh.

1:05:04So it's search for tweets in the last 7

1:05:05days. Can you drop a link to this

1:05:08collection? I can drop a link. And then

1:05:10people can do their own drawings that

1:05:12win nothing.

1:05:16But you know, if they want to follow

1:05:17along.

1:05:18on monitor in Postman cloud?

1:05:21Um what do you mean the timing?

1:05:27It does the Twitter API support scam it

1:05:28as well. Let's see. Yeah, it does cuz I

1:05:30can see

1:05:31and I this might will be your tweet

1:05:33actually

1:05:34um which is

1:05:36um

1:05:37test every X minute. So um the timing is

1:05:40from 5 minutes to So to from every 5

1:05:43minutes to every

1:05:45um

1:05:46every once a

1:05:48week or once a month, I don't know.

1:05:50yeah. Yeah. As frequently as every 5

1:05:53minutes.

1:05:54Yeah.

1:05:55Um

1:05:57Okay, CI/CD pipeline. So that's just all

1:05:59the results.

1:06:01Currently works spaces. Somebody said

1:06:03their favorite was CI/CD pipeline.

1:06:05Uh

1:06:07I love Newman and how he does this to

1:06:09run my collection from the terminal or

1:06:11from my CI/CD pipeline.

1:06:14Uh test automation through the

1:06:15collection runner.

1:06:16Uh I lose my to monitor the APIs by

1:06:19connecting to entities. Ooh, that's a

1:06:22That's a retweet.

1:06:25Where is that going to go?

1:06:26I love how APIs can be designed using

1:06:28open API.

1:06:30Documentation.

1:06:32We have

1:06:33That's one of the first stream where we

1:06:34go through the whole like

1:06:36API build flow and don't use

1:06:38documentations.

1:06:41We could have easily added

1:06:42documentation. There's still time.

1:06:44Stopped you. I I automatically started

1:06:47making documentation and you're like,

1:06:48no, no, no, we're testing.

1:06:50Uh I love that Postman that allows to

1:06:52monitor the API by connecting to

1:06:53entities. Okay, so that's a

1:06:55It's behind your head.

1:06:57Oh, sorry. Yeah. Yep. Uh web sockets.

1:07:00Ooh, have you heard that Postman now

1:07:02supports web sockets?

1:07:04Because it supports

1:07:05Are you talking to me? I'm

1:07:07talking to everyone out there. We

1:07:09support web sockets but also gRPC. So if

1:07:12you're doing either of them,

1:07:13uh go for them and try it out.

1:07:15Yeah, let us know how you're using like

1:07:17how it's coming along. So both of them

1:07:18were under the beta tag so the

1:07:20engineering team is actively collecting

1:07:21feedback um about use cases and

1:07:23scenarios and different types of uh um

1:07:27stories. So yeah, let us know.

1:07:29Um I love it how Postman describes a

1:07:32response. You can view status code,

1:07:34response sizes and response time. That

1:07:35is very true cuz you can see uh look at

1:07:38that

1:07:38Pretty or raw.

1:07:40response size here.

1:07:43And

1:07:43so meta. You're reading

1:07:45response the response about Yeah.

1:07:49You can even choose to view response

1:07:50body in pretty or raw view. Yeah, you

1:07:52can. Look. We can look at in preview.

1:07:55It's just the HTML. So if there was any

1:07:56HTML in the response body, So beautiful.

1:07:59or raw which is just like full on text.

1:08:02But the pretty pretty view is is the

1:08:04best. Okay, cool. Um

1:08:06So this works. We can pull up the the

1:08:08latest tweets.

1:08:09Let's look at the test that I wrote the

1:08:11last time.

1:08:12Um

1:08:15Beta is just another term for production

1:08:17ready.

1:08:18Uh

1:08:20Live it on the edge.

1:08:22Um so my test um

1:08:25I create a new

1:08:27I think that's an array of tweets. So

1:08:30whatever this data goes into this array,

1:08:33then I do

1:08:34a random pick

1:08:36from one of them and then we in the

1:08:38console, so here. And again,

1:08:41this one did not win. This did not

1:08:42count. Going to clear the console. Clear

1:08:44it. Clear it. Wait, so do retweets count

1:08:48or don't count? They are included here.

1:08:50If we get the retweet uh can I remove

1:08:52the retweets? Let's see.

1:08:54Then it would make it easier. I'm

1:08:55curious. I'm Can you tell me how many

1:08:58people tweeted? Can you find the length

1:09:00of the array before you choose a winner?

1:09:02Sorry. This will determine

1:09:05something.

1:09:06Well, I can do Oh, what what will it

1:09:08determine?

1:09:10What? This So the thing is

1:09:12this only pulls the last 7 days. It's

1:09:15the recent tweets.

1:09:16Oh, you need to paginate or you need to

1:09:18set the parameter of the dates then.

1:09:20Start

1:09:21Um There's a parameter.

1:09:23It's start time. Yeah. Oh. Pull this

1:09:26from us. It's the whole month earlier

1:09:28me. From which the tweets will be

1:09:30provided.

1:09:33Ooh, you can use moment JS on the

1:09:35pre-request script probably.

1:09:37Um

1:09:39I'm just thinking if I'll have to run it

1:09:40several times.

1:09:43Because it limits it? It limits the

1:09:45response.

1:09:467 days. Hmm.

1:09:49Push it on to an array.

1:09:52I'm going to do

1:09:54here.

1:09:57New hashtag Postman. Oh, this is

1:09:59exciting.

1:10:03Obviously there's like Postman ones.

1:10:06There's not a lot of them.

1:10:10Ah, okay.

1:10:13We actually have

1:10:15quite a few.

1:10:15Okay.

1:10:17But we have these people. So I think

1:10:19See, I don't want to exclude the ones

1:10:20that did it before.

1:10:22Um

1:10:23And we have like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.

1:10:27So what I'm going to do

1:10:30Hear me out.

1:10:32I'm going to call that once. And I'm

1:10:34going to get an array.

1:10:36To this array, I'm going to add these

1:10:37people.

1:10:38And then we'll do the random on the on

1:10:40the total Does that make sense? Who Who

1:10:43is the population that you're adding?

1:10:45I'm adding

1:10:471 2 How come they're not included there?

1:10:50Because this endpoint is only on the

1:10:52last 7 days.

1:10:53Okay. So only seven people

1:10:56tweeted before the last 7 days is what

1:10:58you're saying. With the correct hashtag,

1:11:00yes.

1:11:01Okay.

1:11:02Okay, I'm getting some confirmation from

1:11:04the chat. Cool.

1:11:05So let me do

1:11:07It's just like get to the drawing.

1:11:11Let's do a test where I go and do this.

1:11:14I'm going to comment that.

1:11:16I can see it's an array of objects.

1:11:19Cool. That's fine.

1:11:21So what I can do is do

1:11:25tweets.

1:11:27I can create I'll just do tweets too.

1:11:30Whoosh.

1:11:31And I can add

1:11:34Um

1:11:36Um

1:11:37author

1:11:38They're not going to be like exactly the

1:11:40same way, but

1:11:42It's fine so long as it's an object.

1:11:45Yeah, I can actually I can

1:11:46just do

1:11:48tweet actually.

1:11:51We have this one.

1:11:55Copy link address.

1:11:59Um well, I can just push the different

1:12:01checks.

1:12:04And I push an array into

1:12:10Would that work?

1:12:19Oh, you're manually doing it?

1:12:21Oh, yeah. I need to

1:12:23yeah.

1:12:26Now you can see the struggle of

1:12:29uh

1:12:31of me trying to do things automated, but

1:12:34when there's a limit to the

1:12:36Oh, yeah.

1:12:37So we have uh okay. Okay.

1:12:42You're not part of it. Do I need I'm

1:12:44sorry.

1:12:45You're a you're Postman employee.

1:12:48Can't count you in.

1:12:54Okay.

1:12:56I've a J.

1:13:02And then

1:13:05That's it cuz that's 7 days ago, right?

1:13:08We have a suggestion.

1:13:09You should automate it and spend 8 hours

1:13:11doing it instead of manually copying the

1:13:12data. Yes, we totally should.

1:13:16Cool. All right.

1:13:17Um let's try that. I just want to make

1:13:19sure that I don't have Okay, I have

1:13:20Jeremy.

1:13:21Oh, that's double entry.

1:13:25No. Okay. Okay.

1:13:26I need to do it once.

1:13:29Oh, that did not work.

1:13:32Why did that not work?

1:13:37Because I'm console logging it.

1:13:47So I need to do it in several ones.

1:13:50Unfortunately.

1:13:52I think instead of push you can use a

1:13:53different method, right? Um to

1:13:56Concatenate or something like that?

1:13:57Yeah.

1:13:59Concat

1:14:01uh array

1:14:01You tell me. Who knows how to

1:14:05If you create an array of objects Oh, me

1:14:08or some Oh, yes. Caesar says concat.

1:14:11Yes.

1:14:11Okay. So I replace push with

1:14:14Yep.

1:14:15Okay.

1:14:17And it's an array, right?

1:14:22Well, it is an array, right?

1:14:24An array of objects.

1:14:26Yeah, it should be.

1:14:29It's not working.

1:14:34Still have 10 people. Okay, let's find a

1:14:36different function.

1:14:40How to add a an array?

1:14:48I wonder what the type of that array is.

1:14:50Do we need to like

1:14:53JSON Do we need to encode it or

1:14:56something?

1:14:57Know what I mean?

1:14:59Hmm.

1:15:00I think Do I need to put them in

1:15:03So I have tweets. Then I have

1:15:06um

1:15:09tweets two.

1:15:11Right?

1:15:12And then I do

1:15:15let results

1:15:17equal

1:15:19um

1:15:23Hmm.

1:15:25Tweets concat

1:15:27concat

1:15:29of tweets two.

1:15:32And then

1:15:33I console log the results.

1:15:34And type of tweets two is array. Ah,

1:15:37wait.

1:15:39Nice.

1:15:40Um

1:15:41So now

1:15:43we do the winner based on

1:15:45the results.

1:15:49Is random really random?

1:15:53And you

1:15:54even ever do

1:15:57only random?

1:15:58Uh oh, actually yeah, we had someone

1:16:01giving the

1:16:02um

1:16:03Okay. Well, we did it.

1:16:06We did it before.

1:16:06We did it.

1:16:08Um are we ready?

1:16:11Hmm. Okay, so it's picking one winner.

1:16:13Or do we want to try it once?

1:16:17Okay, let's try it once before we pick

1:16:19the real winner. We try it.

1:16:21Just to make sure.

1:16:23is not the real one. Yeah.

1:16:25Okay, it was the retweet anyway, so

1:16:27good.

1:16:28But it works.

1:19:44active with us on on Twitter lately so

1:19:49um,

1:19:50I'll save you here. I'll be in touch in

1:19:52the

1:19:54in the next couple of hours through

1:19:56Twitter. Um, and then we'll we'll

1:19:58arrange that. But yeah, I think that's

1:20:01uh

1:20:02started for today.

1:20:05Um, I feel like we covered a lot. We

1:20:07could have covered a lot more. People

1:20:09had really good questions and um

1:20:11Yeah. I feel like it was a good meaty

1:20:14stream. The drawing was fun.

1:20:19favorite thing these bobble heads.

1:20:22Um

1:20:23I don't even have one. Just so people

1:20:25know this is so exclusive even Postman

1:20:28employees don't have it. Did you enter

1:20:30the drawing?

1:20:31I did not cuz I'm a Postman employee.

1:20:35We'll find for a future stream we'll

1:20:37find a way for you to win one of these.

1:20:39Don't worry. We'll set up a special

1:20:40challenge just for you and then you can

1:20:42have one. You've only me as a

1:20:44participant.

1:20:45Well, it'll be a challenge. You'll have

1:20:47to earn it. You won't win it. Yeah.

1:20:49Cool. Uh, cool. Thank you everyone. Uh,

1:20:52yeah, we did a lot. We did the let me

1:20:54read at the title again. Yeah, we did a

1:20:57a monitor. Uh, we deployed first, right?

1:20:59Like we went on GitHub um, created an

1:21:02empty repo then sync that with uh with

1:21:04Postman.

1:21:05Um, put our API definition there. Then

1:21:08we generated the server code from

1:21:10Postman, uh, deployed it using uh we

1:21:12tried using Heroku, did not work. So we

1:21:14just deployed uh locally and then used

1:21:17NGROK to make the connection.

1:21:18Once we had that running, we wrote some

1:21:20tests.

1:21:21Uh, once the test were tested, not

1:21:26always working but as in like they could

1:21:27fail. Um, we monitored it so we used

1:21:30these tests

1:21:31uh and run them through a monitor to run

1:21:34every 5 minutes.

1:21:35And then we added the Slack notification

1:21:38on top of that so whenever the monitor

1:21:39would fail uh it would send a Slack

1:21:41notification and let us know, oh, this

1:21:43failed. Go and have a look. Uh, then we

1:21:45jumped into

1:21:47um

1:21:47series of questions cuz why not? And we

1:21:50did the giveaway and apparently I need

1:21:51like a lot of people are very happy with

1:21:53the with the giveaways that's that's

1:21:54pretty cool.

1:21:56Yeah, we have three winners instead of

1:21:57one.

1:21:59And uh and yeah, that's it. I think

1:22:02um

1:22:03we'll see you next week. We haven't yet

1:22:06announced all the live streams for next

1:22:08month.

1:22:09Uh, but I think next week it's me again

1:22:12with some people from MongoDB if I'm not

1:22:14mistaken or not at all.

1:22:18I don't remember. I know I have a um

1:22:20stream coming up soon. Not hopefully not

1:22:22next week. Uh, but it's with Twilio.

1:22:24We're going to be working on some

1:22:25real-time I think we're going to be

1:22:27working on some real-time stuff so

1:22:28that's going to be exciting and very

1:22:31nerve-wracking for me so hopefully we

1:22:33get to Do you do you know what's next?

1:22:36Uh, I think it is MongoDB um

1:22:39next week. But it's not been announced

1:22:40yet so yeah, for things that not

1:22:42announced, well, you're already here on

1:22:44our either LinkedIn, Twitch or um or

1:22:47YouTube. If you want to if you want to

1:22:49know when we're going live etc. I think

1:22:51Twitter

1:22:52uh is probably the easiest. We always we

1:22:54always post a message there. Um, you may

1:22:56also follow

1:22:58um

1:23:00I always get it confused. Joyce

1:23:03or me.

1:23:05Um, if you want to be aware of it, we

1:23:08we'll tweet either way about the about

1:23:10whatever event is coming up. Um, it's

1:23:13also a good way to be aware of giveaways

1:23:15that happened cuz we're the ones

1:23:17organizing it. Uh, is there a calendar I

1:23:19can subscribe to? We had that going for

1:23:21a while and we kind of sunset it. The

1:23:24best way to know uh that is let me

1:23:29get that link for you.

1:23:31I'm really excited about the MongoDB. We

1:23:33don't do enough like um

1:23:35we don't do a enough database uh

1:23:37streams. Secondly, the SQL no SQL is

1:23:39actually really um

1:23:41an interesting debate and I feel like we

1:23:43could be using no SQL for a lot of the

1:23:46types of streams that we do.

1:23:48So that'll be good. You'll be our

1:23:49resident MongoDB expert.

1:23:51So two things uh when you want to be

1:23:53aware of events, I'm sending first link

1:23:55which is So that's the home page of our

1:23:57uh learning center and there's an

1:23:59upcoming Postman event section. So

1:24:00whenever there's an event uh it's posted

1:24:02there, you have a link to see more

1:24:03details etc.

1:24:05Um

1:24:06and I'll bring it here. So it's

1:24:08learning.postman.com/

1:24:10um #upcoming-events.

1:24:13And

1:24:14um

1:24:15a clickable link so that would be the

1:24:17one.

1:24:18Uh, there's also uh obviously the

1:24:22GetPostman Twitter.

1:24:25Sign now.

1:24:29Oh, all right.

1:24:31I have one thing I want to tell one

1:24:33thing is uh

1:24:35is the Lost in Space puzzle. Uh, people

1:24:38have been solving this cool escape room

1:24:40situation thing going on and a lot of

1:24:42people are working alone which I'm like,

1:24:44holy cow, you must be really good at

1:24:45puzzles. But what I recommend is not to

1:24:48solve it on your own cuz it's really

1:24:49really hard. Uh, it's not really really

1:24:51hard but it can be very very tough. And

1:24:53so collect some friends and like work on

1:24:56it together. It should be like pretty

1:24:58easy to do if you're working with

1:25:00friends.

1:25:02But yeah, hard is pretty alone is pretty

1:25:05hard. Like I don't know.

1:25:06Alone is hard, yes.

1:25:08All right. Uh, thank you everyone for

1:25:09joining. We'll see you again in next

1:25:12event. Uh, if you're on Twitch, I see

1:25:14there was a lot of people joining from

1:25:15Twitch today.

1:25:16Uh, follow the channel just to get

1:25:17notified when we go live. It's once a

1:25:19week around the same time every time so
