# Best practices for remote teams

    "Environment Separation": "แยก Environment ไฟล์ ไม่ Hardcode URL/Token",
    "Fork Workflow": "Fork แก้ไข PR Review ไม่แก้ Main Collection ตรง",
    "Automated Testing": "ทุก PR ต้องผ่าน Newman Test ก่อน Merge",
    "Documentation": "ใช้ Postman Documentation สร้าง API Doc อัตโนมัติ",
    "Secrets Management": "ใช้ Postman Vault หรือ CI Secrets ไม่เก็บ Token ใน Collection",

เคล็ดลับ

• Workspace: ใช้ Team Workspace แชร์ Collection ไม่ต้องส่งไฟล์กัน
• Fork: Fork Collection ก่อนแก้ไข แล้ว PR กลับ เหมือน Git
• Newman: รัน Newman ใน CI/CD ทุก Deploy ตรวจ API อัตโนมัติ
• Monitor: ตั้ง Monitor สำหรับ Production Health Check ทุก 5 นาที
• Secrets: อย่าเก็บ API Key ใน Collection ใช้ Environment Variables
