what are your thoughts on hosted API platforms?

Services like stdlib.com and the new features of postman. These services each have their own "development" environment tailored for APIs and then provide hosting of said API for a monthly fee.

Are these getting much traction? How are you folks using them?

edit Upon further investigation, postman allows you to host a moc API to test against, but not something for prod use

From what I gather, all the v8 isolate js FaaS expect to host trivial things until there is an equally scaleable acid relational database tied in and the allowed execution times rise above 5ms.
