The Greenville, SC chapter of Women Who Code recently began hosting Lightning Labs to give us the opportunity to present on a technical topic or project.

Towards the end of this session, I demonstrated a full working stack using Newman and Postman files set in a GitHub repository, with the GitHub Action configured to run Newman based on specific triggers.
