Powerful benefits

Cut infrastructure costs
Optimize cloud usage: Hosted development environments reduce the need for extensive and costly infrastructure setups.
Streamlined workflow: Minimize time and resources for infrastructure setup and maintenance.
Instant and consistent mocking and testing: Hosted testing instances reduce infrastructure costs and ensure efficient testing.
Reduce errors and risk
Advanced mocking capabilities: Instant, shareable, and secure mock links for fast and thorough testing.
Thorough testing environments: Identify and fix issues early with shareable URLs, breakpoints, and secure environments.
Seamless kubernetes access: Telepresence-based connections enable seamless access to Kubernetes clusters for testing and debugging on local computers.
Improve velocity and experience
Streamlined API Lifecycle: Optimized path for API design, coding, testing, and delivery.
Dedicated Dev Environment: Integrated design, mocking, and testing with a master API catalog.
Example: The GroceryGuardian team built a Home Grocery Management API using Blackbird in just 3 days, compared to 13 days with FastAPI and Render. Read more here.
