Increasing Team Productivity with Mock API Servers.
summary
Shows how Postman turns three saved examples (two REST, one GraphQL) into a live mock server so front-end and back-end work in parallel, claiming measurable productivity gains. Demonstration forks the Mock Server Starter Kit, uses Postman Echo and a Spotify GraphQL sample, creates a mock.postman.io URL, sets variables and saves examples, then adds the x-mock-match-request-body header and Content-Type to match POST/GraphQL bodies. The mock server updates in real time and returns the configured responses successfully.
