Collaborative API testing for student teams and classrooms.
Development students are blocked by restrictive free tiers in API testing tools like Postman, limiting hands-on practice for learning RESTful services.
RestRelay lets dev students share API collections and workspaces in real-time for group projects. Instructors assign tests, teams collaborate without limits, and everyone sees live results. Perfect for bootcamps overcoming Postman's solo-free-tier issues.
