Delivering world-class developer experiences with Postman

We’re excited to share that Fern has joined Postman. Fern helps businesses ship beautiful API documentation and production-ready SDKs that feel hand-crafted; Postman helps more than 500,000 organizations build, test, and collaborate on APIs. Together, we'll help teams deliver better APIs and better developer experiences. Fern will continue to operate as an independent product. 

Postman CEO and co-founder Abhinav Asthana was an early investor in Fern, and we've shared a vision for improving the API ecosystem from the start. Now we're bringing that vision together.

Why we built Fern

We started Fern in 2022 to help businesses offer better public APIs. Great APIs need great documentation and great SDKs. But building and maintaining both is expensive, and most companies don't have the resources to invest in dedicated developer experience teams. We built Fern so they don't have to.

The success of an API depends on how easily developers can understand and integrate with it. Fern’s SDK Generator produces idiomatic client libraries across nine languages, and Fern Docs creates documentation that stays in sync with your API. Both products are open source. Postman helps teams design, build, and test their APIs, and Fern will now extend that to documentation and distribution.

What’s next

The entire Fern team has joined Postman to continue building Fern. The product and brand are not changing. Customers can expect the same experience, with the backing and resources of Postman to help us build even faster.

Square, Auth0, Adobe, Twilio, ElevenLabs, and 200+ other companies already trust Fern to drive adoption of their public APIs. With Postman, we’re accelerating our vision. We’re excited to bring Fern to the more than 500,000 companies that use Postman today, including 98% of the Fortune 500.

We’ll be sharing more soon about what this means and what’s coming next. Thank you for being part of the Fern journey.
