Insomnia 201: How Can Insomnia Support Real World API Development & Testing

Insomnia is a critical tool for the design, development, and testing of your business critical APIs. In the 101 course, we covered the basics of the API client for new users. For the 201 course, we will develop a basic REST API to demonstrate how Insomnia is an essential tool in the build stage of the API lifecycle.
