Conektto is awesome!
I used both Design and Test Studios, and really appreciated the low/no-code platform's features to design API artifacts (spec; code; mocks; test data, cases, suites) through its drag-and-drop interface, without needing to resort to legacy, code-first JSON/YAML.
It's clear a focus on collaboration and hyper-automation are central to Conekkto's value proposition. The design/build/test features are elegant and intuitive, and the speed/cost efficiencies are second-to-none (connectors: SQL Server, Postgres, MongoDB, MySQL).
Also noteworthy is the one-click API lifecycle artifact generation from unified OpenAPI specification source which greatly accelerate automation, solving the unmet need and pain point of slow, siloed processes, needless API expense, and development friction.
The free Community tier has unlimited design to test drive the product, and the Pro plan expands unlimited access to several more features. Highly recommend Conekkto!

@mikhail_tkal Thank you Michael. We are just getting started and early customer traction is showing a need that has been ignored so far by all competitors.
Appreciate if you can signup at conektto.io and subscribe to the free community edition and providing feedback to make the platform better.
@mikhail_tkal Thank you for your wishes. Have you also looked at our documentation / detailed user guide. If not, here it is: docs.conektto.io
Love the vision of creating a Figma for APIs. My hope is that Conektto can drive better collaboration between product & engg. in an API-first world. All the best Ram, Amol & team 🚀
As a product manager, I can say that it's gonna game-changer product. Just signed up. When hybrid API orchestrator is going to be available?
@heyumarkhan Thank you for the support. Launching Hybrid API in the next few weeks. Please send us an email at engage@conektto.io and we will keep you posted.
Congrats on the launch! Looks like Conektto could be helpful for our product team! I shared this with them 😊

@rams_211 @madhu_v_swamy1 @hugo_pochet1 Thank you Hugo. Please send us an email at engage@conektto.io for any follow-up questions and/or demo. Appreciate your support.
👍🏻 Wow, sounds like you just made API design a whole lot easier for Product Managers! 🤩 Time to get to designing those APIs! 🤓
@paolo_degiglio That is our mission here at conektto, Paolo. Thank you for your support and please sign up at conektto.io
@paolo_degiglio Thank you for the feedback. This is the ticket for Product Managers to join the innovators club. Thanks to FIGMA for fueling the Creator Economy. We genuinely want Conektto to fuel API economy.
@berthakgokong Thank you Bertha. Appreciate your support and we welcome you to signup at conektto.io
Designing APIs can be a pain, but with Figma it doesn't have to be. With Figma's intuitive design tools, you can easily craft API designs that automatically generate OpenAPI specs, server code, tests, mocks,
Hi Product Hunt,
Excited to launch our API Design Studio today!
APIs have been in the existence for last 20+ years. There are 200 million APIs exist and 1.5 billion new APIs to be built in the next 8 years. Yet, the process of designing, coding and testing APIs is still in the legacy.
Our intent was to create a platform that can empower Product Managers to design API without needing Ph.D. in JSON or YAML or API standards.
We are in a different world where B2B integrations rely heavily on APIs. There are tools that exist that are either hosted solutions or too developer-centric. We believe B2B space has a ton of potential to unlock and Product Management needs to be the tip of the spear leading integrations that matter for customers, users, and partners.
Additionally, product managers are required to work across several stakeholders in engineering and operations that are constantly operationalizing APIs like developers, DevOps, Architects, SRE, Release engineers, and Performance / Security experts. Not everyone is a skilled business user that understands the nuances of API, integration, and the value of data. Additionally, it takes several steps and a ton of time to get repeatable ideation to implementation done.
We were looking for a product that supports:
✅ Collaborative innovation
✅ Friendly and intuitive for different types of stakeholders (refer above)
✅ Intelligent with governance and standards
✅ A completely modern API development platform
None existed, and hence we built Conektto, the API-First Design and Test Platform. The only platform in the industry that can empower Product Managers to design API, collaborate with developers, and testers to auto-generate mock, tests, test execution, test data, performance tests, and report results - Zero-touch for Data provider APIs.
With today's launch, we add MongoDB, SQL Server, Postgres and MySQL-based data provider API design with the ability to design complex API business logic by abstracting the metadata behind it. Additionally, we are introducing a free format API designer so you can product managers can create OpenAPI specs to communicate with Developers. We have a ton of new stuff in our pipeline including the ability to build composite / aggregate API design, and GraphQL capabilities as well as our partnership with Microsoft PowerFx started in October 2022 for OpenAI based 100% production-ready code generation.
Please try out our platform and provide your feedback. We'd love to hear what you think!
@rams_211 Hi Ram hope you're well. Here's my review:

Congratulations on your launch! Best of luck with your product and roadmap. Cheers!
@sfali789 Thank you. Our next launch in few weeks will be Aggregate API designer - meaning connect any api with any api, design an entire business flow and generate downstream artifacts. We setup our partnership with Microsoft in October for using PowerFx, the low code business logic engine that was already integrated with OpenAI back then. Additionally ton of features focussed on API compliance and governance. But before all of that, we have a big news coming around how we would like to empower Product Managers with knowledge on API. Stay tuned for more updates on that shortly.
Ton of engineering went into and great to see the acceptance from the community. We doubled our user base today. Extremely thankful to commenters, hunters and all PH team members to make this happen. Yet, miles to go before we sleep!!
Thank you for all your feedback. We got several users signed up our community edition and sent some great feedback and connection as well conversions. Thank you PH team and PH community.
Congratulations on your launch @rams_211 @amol_dewhare and @madhu_v_swamy1!
I went through the demo videos on the platform and it looks so convenient for a developer to design and modify APIs using your platform.
What all databases can be connected with Conektto for API designing apart from SQL databases?
@rams_211 @madhu_v_swamy1 @ug911 Thank you Utkarsh for the feedback. Today we support 3 relation databases and 1 no sql DB. The 3 relational DB that we support today are SQL Server, Postgress and MySQL. In regards to no-sql, we support MongoDB.
Inviting you to signup for free at conektto.io and subscribe to the community edition to build enterprise grade API's for free for life.
@ug911 Please feel free to suggest any database that we are missing so we can add it to our product roadmap
@nicbyron So far we have not received request for Firestore. We will circle back with you or please connect with us on your specific use case so we can prioritize your integration requirements to our product roadmap. engage@conektto.io
I've had the pleasure of working directly with Ram and his team on a very tricky (read: super large - super security-sensitive) project and let me tell you, in my 30+ years developing software with every technology imiginable with every level of engineering (ranging from entry level through to SERIOUS NEXT-LEVEL ground-breakers), these guys are 100% the very best - not just because their product solves an otherwise complicated-error-prone problem, but almost EXCLUSIVELY because they are instantly available, and never once tried to "blow smoke" at me, pretending to grasp, let alone promise to solve, my very specific and complex case. To me, the team that will deliver is not the one that knows all from the start, but those that are eager to face a challenge, find and multiply their strengths while hunting down gaps in skill/knowledge and STILL be resourceful enough to rise to the challenge! Believe me, these guys are humble enough to ask enough questions as a team until as a group, they helped me overcome a multi-million dollar problem! These guys are the ones to watch in this space - not afraid to learn, improvise, adapt, and overcome - AS A TEAM! Congratulations guys! Wish I'd met you all 20 years ago! (And, they LOVE sharing what they know, and learn!) The VERY BEST!
API revolution will transform the nature of business profoundly and that future is not very distant. Democratization of
API's where "idea" to "live" in a matter of minutes seems futuristic or sci-fi movie made but in reality that future is NOW. Current ecosystem of tools and platforms are still stuck in the technical tinkering around the periphery and not thinking about empowering the new API led transformation.
Business led transformation can unleash an innovation tsunami that can not only propel firms to breakthrough from their competitors but earn financial gains, both top-line and bottom-line.
It is with this vision, we are launching our API Design Studio.
Powered by intelligence, our patent-pending innovation will stand-out as the next-generation API platform that the world needs to unleash API-led business prosperity.
