How do you validate API in DevOps?

Use Postman collections for health, auth, authz, perf tests. Run via Newman in CI/CD like GitHub Actions—fail fast, block deploys.

Does Postman Newman work with AWS EKS and API Gateway?

Absolutely—point base_url to ALB or Gateway, tests chain tokens across services. Probes integrate smoothly.

What if my API tests fail in production?

Curl endpoints, check CloudWatch/kubectl logs, verify security groups/DB conns. Rollback, fix, retest.
