Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Stoplight for public and private documentations for our SaaS APIs.
All APIs are described in OpenAPI yaml format by the developers themselves and deployed to a gateway after being edited and published from Stoplight and validated by CI jobs.
Public docs have addional markdown files to describe important topics, like authentication.
Pros and Cons
  • OpenAPI support
  • Markdown supports
  • Git integration
  • Support for multiple environments could be easier
Likelihood to Recommend
Its well suited as an easy way to centralize documentations, [especially] if you already use openapi format.
Most Important Features
  • Git integration
  • Markdown support

StopLight for all your API testing needs

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
At our organization, StopLight is being used to test, debug, and share our web APIs internally with other departments and teams. It's not used exclusively, but on a team-by team basis across several departments. We use it mainly for testing, like for OAI and RAML code for testing our endpoints.
Pros and Cons
  • OAI code. StopLight is a great tool to use if you use Swagger for testing your endpoints.
  • Sharing API's. StopLight makes it easy for us to share our API's internally with other teams.
  • Tech support. StopLight's dev team responds quickly and helpfully to tech questions and there's plenty of forum support to boot.
  • Simplicity of set up. Although it's not difficult, there are tools out there that are easier to set up for testing endpoints.
  • Again, it's perfectly functional, but some competitors I think have a more user friendly UI to them.
Likelihood to Recommend
API mocking, testing, and sharing are all built in functions for StopLight that work quite well. They even have functionality for generating OAI and RAML code as well, which is a huge plus. AS for as areas where StopLight is not appropriate, if you're doing anything other than API testing, StopLight may not be appropriate for use.

Return on Investment
  • Increased efficiency
  • Improved API reliability
  • Easier testing
Alternatives Considered
I'd like to also throw Runscope and Fiddler into the mix. Between StopLight and all these competitors, we've chosen StopLight primarily for the support, ease of use, and reliability. Most tools out there today are top-notch, so it really comes down to personal preference and different use-cases. Having used other API testing frameworks, StopLight definitely stacks up against the competition.
