One of the phenomenal product I have ever experienced. Loved the platform which build the complex API dynamically & deploy it with all the restful method within minutes where developers are spending multiple days to write code, build and deploy. The ROI from this is huge!!!.
Couple of questions from my end is
1. will this product automatically create workers/VMs in cloud formation repositories (AWS/GCP/Azure) like how terraform does and execute load tests for APIs (using automatically generated test data within workers ) and report in monitoring/observability tools?
2. Can we schedule the API testing as a job in conektto?
@rajesh_rajendran Thank you for great feedback and comments. Our load generation is ready to be executed on cloud as Kubernetes cluster. This capability will be available for late November. Additionally our test execution is all API based and hence configuring the execution from CI/CD tool like Jenkins is fairly a simple setup process. Great feedback and will certainly update our roadmap with this feature request.
This is an amazing idea for the reason that it covers most of the pieces of the API Testing Life Cycle. Can we consume the API mocks from a rest client ?
@krishnakashyap Thank you Krishna. Yes the API mocks can be consumed from a rest client. Give it a spin by signing up for free and exploring the test studio.
Hi Product Hunt,
Excited to launch our API Test Harness here today! Testing data provider APIs built on top of database like SQL Server, PostGres is not straight forward. You are dealing with an existing OpenAPI Spec that has all the complex logic programmed in the code. We were looking for a tool that can consume an OpenAPI spec, map the meta data and generate all test infrastructure including mock, test cases, test execution controller, test data, etc.
Why? It is not just API testers that are testing and automating APIs.
We have come across several stakeholders in engineering and operations that are constantly testing APIs like: Business, Product Managers, SRE, Release engineers, Performance and Security experts, and developers.
Not everyone is a skilled API tester that understands the nuances of API testing. Additionally, it takes several steps and a ton of time to get to repeatable API tests.
We were looking for a product that is:
✅ Zero-touch
✅ Friendly for different types of stakeholders (refer above)
✅ Intelligent
✅ A completely modern API development platform
None existed and hence we built Conektto, the Autonomous API Test Harness. The only platform in the industry that can auto generate mock, tests, test execution, test data, performance tests and report results - Zero touch for Data provider APIs. We support SQL Server and Postgres today, in the roadmap are MySQL, MongoDB, complex business logic as well as complex Process APIs. More on our roadmap --> https://www.conektto.io/roadmap
We'd love to hear what you think!
@macrodave Thank you David. Let us know if you are able to subscribe to our trial and if you need any help with initial setup.

Attractive platform, looks solid and seems like its going to make the API Testing too easy. Want to make my hands dirty on this. Congrats on the launch !!!
@deepesh_poonthorakandy Thank you. Can't wait to share our low code business logic designer that is set to launch in few weeks. That would make our platform very unique for product managers as well as help developers and testers to simplify defining complex business logic in code. Not to forget how much re-usability our platform can bring for the complex business logic. Your domain models need not be generated several times solving API sprawl and debugging issue. Please sign up and share your additional feedback.
@sri_vidhya2 We will be launching no code business logic later this winter. subscribe for our newsletter or signup for our beta from the roadmap if you are interested. Thank you.

@rams_211 Very Apt for current aura of api world and ease to use tool. Based on initial walkthrough of tool and time I spent , looks like (spl in my zone - api automation for enterprise backend application) , 50% of effort is upfront saves and could be even more , if i get sometime to dig into. This is indeed atleast going to be good cost saving (in QA zone).
@rams_211@anupam_anand1 Thank you Anupam for your feedback and support. Encourage you to explore the performance test case, intelligent test data generation and execution engine ease to enhance the value generated.
@anupam_anand1 Thank you for your feedback. Our target customer profiles are product managers, developers, testers, SRE, UAT. We have seen how the backend API testing team struggles with getting a clean API testing that not only validates data happy path and corner cases but truly validates OpenAPI constructs and design principles used by the development team. Our product starts from uploading an OpenAPI spec and generating all the downstream artifacts from a single metadata based source. Would be happy to show you the demo.
Amazing API design and collaboration studio. No more coding for API testing and generating test data. Solve a lot of key areas around APIs. Better than postman and swagger.
@madhu_v_swamy1 Thank you Madhu. API's for all and removing the technical barrier as entry point is critical for ensuring business can participate and drive API adoption to great heights in an organization is what we are striving for with Conektto.
Appreciate your feedback and support.
@madhu_v_swamy1 We love what Ankit and Abhinav started at Postman. SoapUI is certainly sister of all SOAP inventions. Our point of view: Postman and Swagger are great platforms for web 2.0 and last 2 decades of what we call as hamster wheel of doing something over and over. Our vision is to build APIs in minutes. This is a huge shift from building API to generating API automatically. The complexity lies in business logic, simplicity, design thinking. Hence Conektto, Design First API development platform. Thank you for your feedback and encouragement.

How does this compare to postman or smartbear? What do you think the biggest differentiator is?
@coder_with_a_bushido F5 report says for the past 2 decades, developers have created 200 million APIs and 1.5 billion new new APIs to be built in the next 8 years. We love what Ankit and Abhinav started at Postman. Yet, our primary objective was how do we bring intelligence in the API development lifecycle that focuses on Design First API approach. Modern API lifecycle will be driven by Product managers, innovators and creators who are not developers and don't have PhD in JSON or YAML. Smartbear has pioneered SOAP and SOAP based tests. Yet, we believe in single platform for mock, test, test data, performance tests, security tests, monitoring, etc. Not one product for each. Hence Conektto.
@coder_with_a_bushido The API world is moving to a value play over 2 applications talking to each other. The rise of the citizen developer demands a low-code approach that does not force technical pre-requisite and that is where conektto is trying to crave a differentiator over existing solutions.
