We’re pleased to announce our investment in Requestly, a company simplifying how developers test and debug APIs for web and mobile applications.
Debugging eats developer time
Mobile devices drive 61% of website visits, and users spend 90% of their time in apps — so the need for efficient API testing has never been greater. Yet developers still spend much of their time manually debugging APIs, an inefficient and error-prone process.
What Requestly does
Requestly lets developers capture and modify API responses without backend changes. Its client-side API mocking system makes it easy to simulate scenarios, removing the need for code modification during testing.
A browser extension, desktop app and Android SDK cover testing without complex configuration — even for mobile apps with SSL pinning. That sets it apart from traditional approaches requiring codebase changes or cumbersome proxy setups.
Built for teams
Requestly prioritizes collaboration: teams share configurations and testing scenarios through cloud-synced rules and settings, working across devices and sharing potential fixes in a single click. It optimizes the workflow between developers, product managers and QA.
The team
Sachin Jain (ex-Google, Adobe and Blinkit), Sahil and Sagar have firsthand experience of the frustration of debugging APIs. Sachin and Sahil worked together at Blinkit; Sagar came to the team as an early Requestly user. The result is a tool that genuinely addresses developer needs.
