GitHub verdict
The default, and correctly so. Evaluate GitLab only if you need a single self-hosted DevOps platform.
- Largest ecosystem and integration surface
- Actions covers most CI needs without a separate vendor
- Talent familiarity reduces onboarding cost
Postman verdict
The default API workbench. Decide deliberately whether your API contracts should live here or in your repository.
- Ubiquitous: most engineers already know it
- Strong testing and mocking capability
- Documentation publishing is genuinely usable
