# How to Build Better APIs Faster with Insomnia 9.0

API development is a crucial part of modern application building, but the tooling has often lagged behind, leading to inefficiencies and slow release cycles. Kong Insomnia 9.0 aims to change that by providing a powerful all-in-one platform for designing, testing, mocking, and debugging APIs.

In this webinar, we'll dive deep into the major new features in Insomnia 9.0 that turbocharge API developer workflows:

• Pre-Request Scripting: Write custom JavaScript to modify requests on-the-fly, integrate with 3rd party auth systems, and automate repetitive tasks. Insomnia's scripts are fully compatible with Postman for easy migration.
• API Mocking: Build fully customizable API mocks within Insomnia itself, hosted locally or in Insomnia's cloud. Enable API-driven development by mocking APIs before the backend is built.
• Global Search: Quickly find request collections, mocks, tests and more across all your Insomnia projects and workspaces. Collaboration Enhancements: An all-new diff viewer, automatic doc pulling, and more smooths the developer collaboration experience.

We'll showcase how these features work with live demos and example use cases. You'll learn tips and best practices for leveraging Insomnia 9.0 to boost productivity, whether you're an individual developer or part of a large team. We'll also cover Insomnia's unique advantages like data locality controls for security/compliance.
