RecipeUI VS dive

When I went looking for alternatives to Insomnia I was pleasantly surprised to see that RecipeUI[1] will let paste in curl commands with various flags etc. and parse those to generate new entries, pretty slick.

Given the recent update[0] pushed by the Insomnia team I am now looking for alternatives.

For now the best alternative I've found is Bruno[1]. But sadly it does not support gRPC.

Does anyone have a better solution?

These are some options I've looked into:

- https://hoppscotch.io/

- https://hurl.dev/

- https://recipeui.com/

- https://kreya.app/

- https://github.com/flawiddsouza/Restfox

I recently found this open source postman typed alternative, hadn't had time to really try it yet but the types stuff should help here no?

Cool, gonna try this soon. Would be great to use in combination with Dive (https://github.com/wagoodman/dive)

Dive is an open-source tool that allows you to explore the various layers of a Docker image. It shows you the content of each layer and helps you identify voluminous or unnecessary parts.

Dive is a great tool for debugging this. I like image reduction work just because it gives me a chance to play with Dive: https://github.com/wagoodman/dive

One easy low hanging fruit I see a LOT for ballooning image sizes is people including the kitchen sink SDK/CLI for their cloud provider (like AWS or GCP), when they really only need 1/100 of that. The full versions of both of these tools are several hundred mb each

This post is going to be shorter. I'd like to highlight a tool that I really enjoy working with called "Dive" It is an essential tool when working to build and optimize docker containers.

Whether you work with Docker regularly or even create your own Docker containers, Dive is a great tool for streamlining image sizes, potentially helping you save storage costs and speed up deployments.
