Case Study: Postman improves data discovery and trust with Atlan

How Postman Fixed a Missing Layer in their Data Stack

Postman, the API platform company, needed a better way to make its growing data stack easier to access, understand, and trust as the team scaled rapidly and moved fully remote. Analysts were spending too much time answering repeated Slack questions, and inconsistent metric definitions created confusion around key business numbers like MAU.

Postman first tried documenting data in Confluence and Google Sheets, but both approaches broke down at scale, so it implemented Atlan as a modern data workspace and catalog. With Atlan, Postman created a single source of truth for data discovery, ownership, usage, and documentation, helping teams find the right data without relying on the data team; the result was improved trust and consistency across metrics, with everyone finally talking about the same numbers.
