This studio going to ease developer time to focus on solving core business problems rather worrying about API design complexities. Is there a roadmap to deploy as plugin in IDEs to generate API design and deployments? This is something like Figma Relay design UI templates but for API designs šŸ˜

@ranjith_ragavan You are spot on. Figma for API Visual studio plugin is in the roadmap rather way later in the roadmap. The struggle has been should we focus on Product Managers or should we focus on DevEx. While we love Dev and care for DevEx more, we believe Product Managers are left out of API design. We believe every Product Manager is an innovator. Thanks to Figma fueling creator economy. We want to fuel the creator economy with API in the context. Thank you for the feedback

@ranjith_ragavan Our community edition is Free for Ever with unlimited free format API design and some limited monthly allowance for Data provider, API Test and Aggregate API (which is our next launch). Feel free to take a look at the platform and look at our work-in-progress documentation as well.

@ranjith_ragavan Thank you. Figma relay design UI is the next feature we are launching - aggregate api which can allow product managers to visually connect multiple API end points and build aggregation, orchestration and routing functions on top of it.

Congratulations on your launch @rams_211 @amol_dewhare and @madhu_v_swamy1! I went through the demo videos on the platform and it looks so convenient for a developer to design and modify APIs using your platform. What all databases can be connected with Conektto for API designing apart from SQL databases?
Amol Dewhare
Maker
@rams_211 @madhu_v_swamy1 @ug911 Thank you Utkarsh for the feedback. Today we support 3 relation databases and 1 no sql DB. The 3 relational DB that we support today are SQL Server, Postgress and MySQL. In regards to no-sql, we support MongoDB. Inviting you to signup for free at conektto.io and subscribe to the community edition to build enterprise grade API's for free for life.

Hi Product Hunt, Excited to launch our API Design Studio today! APIs have been in the existence for last 20+ years. There are 200 million APIs exist and 1.5 billion new APIs to be built in the next 8 years. Yet, the process of designing, coding and testing APIs is still in the legacy. Our intent was to create a platform that can empower Product Managers to design API without needing Ph.D. in JSON or YAML or API standards. We are in a different world where B2B integrations rely heavily on APIs. There are tools that exist that are either hosted solutions or too developer-centric. We believe B2B space has a ton of potential to unlock and Product Management needs to be the tip of the spear leading integrations that matter for customers, users, and partners. Additionally, product managers are required to work across several stakeholders in engineering and operations that are constantly operationalizing APIs like developers, DevOps, Architects, SRE, Release engineers, and Performance / Security experts. Not everyone is a skilled business user that understands the nuances of API, integration, and the value of data. Additionally, it takes several steps and a ton of time to get repeatable ideation to implementation done. We were looking for a product that supports: āœ… Collaborative innovation āœ… Friendly and intuitive for different types of stakeholders (refer above) āœ… Intelligent with governance and standards āœ… A completely modern API development platform None existed, and hence we built Conektto, the API-First Design and Test Platform. The only platform in the industry that can empower Product Managers to design API, collaborate with developers, and testers to auto-generate mock, tests, test execution, test data, performance tests, and report results - Zero-touch for Data provider APIs. With today's launch, we add MongoDB, SQL Server, Postgres and MySQL-based data provider API design with the ability to design complex API business logic by abstracting the metadata behind it. Additionally, we are introducing a free format API designer so you can product managers can create OpenAPI specs to communicate with Developers. We have a ton of new stuff in our pipeline including the ability to build composite / aggregate API design, and GraphQL capabilities as well as our partnership with Microsoft PowerFx started in October 2022 for OpenAI based 100% production-ready code generation. Please try out our platform and provide your feedback. We'd love to hear what you think!

@rams_211 @amol_dewhare and @madhu_v_swamy1! Congratulations on your launch. I am super excited about all the features and benefits that Conektto brings to the forefront including the ease of design for API's specially the curent integration with databases, the free format API for non developers and the soon to be composite / aggregate API development. We have so many design plans with multiple external and internal API's and this new functionality will be a game changer, as it will ease the pain and accelerate the development of these API's while being able to manage hundred's of tables in multiple databases with much more precison and less re-work! The ease of documenting and being able to conveny in an easy and consistant manner to developers from a management/business perspective - visually and with the tangible existing and to be created databases/tables and integrations into external APIS' is is specially welcoming. You have a ways to go with the documentation, but it appears you are well aware of this need and are speedily progressing to make it even easier and more intuitive to use your app. Thanks again and wishing you tremendouls success!

Easy to design and test API's in minutes. If we can implement code generation in node or python. This would be a cherry on cake..

Team conektto, great job in bringing great product to market. With API design studio where you can bring the database relationships driving behavior to develop API is very good idea. Currently companies has so much of legacy data and they donā€™t know to use or build solutions on top of it. It is comprehensive solution for both product managers and solutions architects to design APIs. Also on top of it you have solutions to generate code of APIs then bundle into complete package as docker containers and have getting the test artifacts like functional and performance testcases. This is complete solution for API / microservice based development and has a lot of potential. It would be good to see what are your next steps as product has a lot of features. All the best for the product and I am excited to know your journey from here :)

Farooq (SF Ali) Zafar
@rams_211 Hi Ram hope you're well. Here's my review: Conektto is awesome! I used both Design and Test Studios, and really appreciated the low/no-code platform's features to design API artifacts (spec; code; mocks; test data, cases, suites) through its drag-and-drop interface, without needing to resort to legacy, code-first JSON/YAML. It's clear a focus on collaboration and hyper-automation are central to Conekkto's value proposition. The design/build/test features are elegant and intuitive, and the speed/cost efficiencies are second-to-none (connectors: SQL Server, Postgres, MongoDB, MySQL). Also noteworthy is the one-click API lifecycle artifact generation from unified OpenAPI specification source which greatly accelerate automation, solving the unmet need and pain point of slow, siloed processes, needless API expense, and development friction. The free Community tier has unlimited design to test drive the product, and the Pro plan expands unlimited access to several more features. Highly recommend Conekkto! Congratulations on your launch! Best of luck with your product and roadmap. Cheers!

@sfali789 Thank you. Our next launch in few weeks will be Aggregate API designer - meaning connect any api with any api, design an entire business flow and generate downstream artifacts. We setup our partnership with Microsoft in October for using PowerFx, the low code business logic engine that was already integrated with OpenAI back then. Additionally ton of features focussed on API compliance and governance. But before all of that, we have a big news coming around how we would like to empower Product Managers with knowledge on API. Stay tuned for more updates on that shortly. Ton of engineering went into and great to see the acceptance from the community. We doubled our user base today. Extremely thankful to commenters, hunters and all PH team members to make this happen. Yet, miles to go before we sleep!!
