These features let developers focus on building APIs that meet business needs while avoiding infrastructure headaches.
Simplified API Testing and Development
Blackbird eliminates the need for DevOps involvement by providing a streamlined, ready-to-use solution for testing services in containerized environments. With an integrated version of Telepresence, developers can choose to connect directly to their Kubernetes (K8s) clusters.
Flexible Environments, Full Control
Blackbird and Telepresence let developers work in their preferred environment. Whether using a hosted setup or connecting directly to remote K8 clusters, you’ll have the flexibility to develop, test, and debug your APIs seamlessly—all without infrastructure delays.
Blackbird + Telepresence: Together for Accelerated Development
Seamless API Development from End-to-End
Blackbird goes further than API management solutions or point solutions on the market by eliminating infrastructure friction. Blackbird’s modular approach to full life-cycle API development offers instant access to a built-in development environment or a connection to your remote cluster. The power of this combination means developers can independently:
- Generate Instant API specs
- Create and host shareable mocks
- Generate AI-assisted code in dozens of languages
- Run and deploy code on a hosted dev environment
- Connect to remote K8s for local development and testing
- Debug and deliver, containerized code
