• The Best Alternatives to Postman for API Testing

  To get started with Insomnia, download it from the official website, install it, and create a new request by selecting the appropriate HTTP method and entering your endpoint URL. - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago

• Building a RESTful API with Node.js and Express

• Make your Azure OpenAI apps compliant with RBAC

  We will be performing all of the authentication requests manually, however for testing purposes, you might want to use an API testing tool such as Postman or Insomnia. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Local automation

  For a very long time, the go-to tool was curl. Great, always available command line tool. Unfortunately, there is one small issue. It’s hard to keep requests and collect them in collections, it’s great for one-time shots or debugging, but for constant working with API could be painful. To solve it, I started working with tools like Postman/Insomnia. Then eh... Strange licensing model, or changes which occurred... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Tools that Make Me Productive as a Software Engineer

  At first, I used Postman for testing APIs because it had a lot of features. But I switched to Insomnia because it was easier to use and kept everything organized. The big problem with Insomnia was that it deleted all my saved work when it made me create an account to keep using it. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

  Do you have XP with alternatives to blackfire.io? It may helps, but sounds a little expensive for evaluating performance issues. I found also MySQLTuner which is free (of course it only helps with the database). Source: over 1 year ago

• Scaling a web application which is growing very fast

  Go get a subscription to blackfire.io and profile your application. I guarantee you that your queries to the DB are shit and not using indices. Redis will just mask the issue. You probably also have a bunch of PHP code being ran in loops. Source: over 1 year ago

• Making sure your website won't crash again

  Although the connection with the API should no longer cause the trouble, we knew that this was the most compute-heavy part of the platform. So the fewer requests are sent to that API, the better the website performance would be. We used Blackfire.io to check how often the web app uses the API and we got interesting results. We noticed that the homepage, the most frequently visited page, used the API twice per each... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Guide to install xhprof (profiling) in wordpress to debug slow php

  Nice article; skimming over it, it seems exhaustive and well-written. But nowadays, I'd generally recommend blackfire.io over XHProf. Yes, it's a (mostly) closed source SAAS platform, and the free tier only offers the most absolutely basic of tools, but by the time performance really starts to matter on your wordpress site, I don't think ~$30 a month is a dealbreaker. Installation is easier, the visualisation... Source: about 2 years ago
