APIs are the backbone of modern web and while Postman has been the most widely used tool for years, there are plenty of good options out there.

Requestly sounds good!
Yep π₯
Sorry but I am not totally convinced, so why not just use Postman app? Because it is bloated of features?
Hope I'm wrong, but it feels as a paid article (I tried to find more info on how Postman for Web bypasses CORS - and surprise, I ran into an article on the blog of requestly with the exact same ideas).
Yes, I'm a writer at Requestly (my linkedin profile), so I'm definitely biased and I'm not trying to hide it.
That said, I completely understand where you're coming from. Honestly, I still use Postman and Bruno for my work too, so I'm not here to bash any tools. The goal was to share what others feel and explain where Requestly stands out.
When it comes to security, Requestly does have an edge over Postman in some aspects and I've tried to break it down in the article.
For solo developers working on basic stuff, any of these options is completely fine. It's completely your choice on what tools you prefer.
Thank you for clarifying that!
Yeah, it makes sense, either option is fine - unless you have auditors interested on how you manage data protection for yourself and your team. Then indeed you wouldn't want some random engineer in the organisation to use a tool that would proxy data through other servers.
I have been using Bruno, open source, and super fast.
Absolutely. Found bruno a year ago and never looked back.
Yes, there are a lot of good options like Bruno, Hoppscotch and Insomnia. All of these are great; it just depends on the developer, in my opinion.
Iβm not entirely sure how it works, but routing through an internal server can be an issue for some people and Requestly solves that, that was the reason I wrote this.
Anyway, thank you for reading Douglas π
We can add Yaak to the list (yaak.app/blog/bruno-alternative)
I like the sound of requestly, but I use Yaak personally!
I've heard about it before somewhere, but I didn't get the chance to try it. Maybe I will give it a shot and write about it.
By the way, I found Treblle through your profile and will explore it now :)
Anyway, thanks for reading Steve!
I don't work at, or use Treblle anymore π€
gRPC, SocketAPI ? Avro, Prorotbuf?
Cool
