Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Postman - API platform for easy endpoint testing

Data API for Amazon Aurora Serverless v2 with AWS SDK for Java - Part 5 Basic cold and warm starts measurements
The results of the experiment to retrieve the existing product from the database by its id see GetProductByIdViaAuroraServerlessV2DataApiHandler with Lambda function with 1024 MB memory setting were based on reproducing more than 100 cold and approximately 10.000 warm starts with experiment which ran for approximately 1 hour. For it (and experiments from my previous article) I used the load test tool hey, but you can use whatever tool you want, like Serverless-artillery or Postman. We won't enable SnapStart on the Lambda function first.

Building a RESTful API with Node.js and Express
Use tools like Postman or Insomnia to test the API endpoints and ensure they behave as expected.

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.

Simple and Cost-Effective Testing Using Functions
As you can see in the above diagram, a lambda function is scheduled to be executed periodically by EventBridge. This lambda function retrieves the assets exported from Postman (test collection, environment, and global variables), injects secrets from the secrets manager and executes the tests using the newman npm package, and, in case of failures, updates metrics in CloudWatch and stores test results in the S3 bucket. An alarm is triggered in case the metrics exceed a threshold (in this case, a count of 1).
There are a couple of companies out there that offer such continuous testing services, like Uptrends. However, if you’re just looking for having some continuously running integration tests, I believe you could have a much more cost-effective, simpler, and more useful solution if you build it on your own by using Postman as a basis.

Open API with Postman
I had to do some exploring/testing of an API today and thought that Postman would be the tool for the job.

How to send emails from your website using Twilio SendGrid
Let's set up our API route first because we can quickly test it to see if it's working using an API testing tool like Postman. Create an API route for SendGrid by creating this folder structure src/app/api/sendgrid/route.js.

How to Build and Document a Go REST API with Gin and Go-Swagger
There are several ways to document an API including in an API testing client like Postman, but we will use OpenAPI spec to document. OpenAPI is an evolution of Swagger, which is a popular open source tool for all things API. Swagger comes with a user interface to display, interact and test our API documentation.

Fx – Terminal JSON Viewer
This fx rewrite is very exciting. I'll have to try it. I thought of fx as a wrapper around jq, that allowed quick iteration over building jq scripts. Sort of an Ultimate Plumber [1] but only for jq. It looks like it is now more like a JavaScript processor plus an interactive viewer.
Someone mention Visidata[2]? VisiData is also a TUI that is great on tabular data, and it can work with json. If your JSON is mostly tabular in nature, Visidata does a great job at showing that data and allowing you to explore it. A lot of json I deal with is tabular-like data. There is a great tutorial [3], that can help you get your bearings with Visidata. Once you understand those basics you might want to look at this thread [4] for what commands you can use with json.

Ultimate plumber can do this.

`jqp`, a TUI playground for `jq`
Been using up for years but this looks nice too
-
An interactive wrapper around `jq`
Fun. But I can achieve the same result (I think) with ultimate plumber and regular jq, but without being restricted just to jq. Feel free to correct me.

What are some useful cli tools that arent popular?

The Invisible JavaScript Backdoor
Do you have some tricks for how you handle filtering through logs? Or if there could be a tool thst could help you or mitigate your most critical issue[s]?
I found filtering through longs a major pain even for a fully sighted person like me, so I wrote a tool to help me with that, but it's fully in a "TUI" paradigm (i.e. curses-like), so I presume it wouldn't help you much (https://github.com/akavel/up). No promises, given that the tool as is scratched my itch, but I am honestly curious if something similar could reduce your PITA, including whether this specific tool could be made useful for you through some minimal effort on my side.
