  • Make your Azure OpenAI apps compliant with RBAC
    2 projects | dev.to | 25 Mar 2024
    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
    5 projects | dev.to | 25 Mar 2024
    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
    3 projects | dev.to | 22 Mar 2024
    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
    2 projects | dev.to | 11 Mar 2024
    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
    3 projects | dev.to | 8 Mar 2024
    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.
  • What is API Discovery, and How to Use it to Reduce Your Attack Surface

    Use Postman to manually test endpoints.
  • Local automation
    2 projects | dev.to | 6 Mar 2024
    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 from Kong side click, definitely push me again for some lookup. After checking different very popular tools and those not such well known I decided to use… Ansible. Sounds strange right? Let me explain this decision. For example, look at this code.
  • Unlocking the frontend – a call for standardizing component APIs pt.2
    8 projects | dev.to | 5 Mar 2024
    Already embedded deep into quite a few development workflows (either through the Open API standard, where it is used for model definitions, or something like Postman to build APIs collaboratively) this immediately enables safer, greater and more meaningful interactions between frontend engineers, backend engineers and those working on APIs / microservices. It’s also already in use in some Design System tooling (like Knapsack), or behind the scenes in headless CMS systems.
  • Tools that Make Me Productive as a Software Engineer
    6 projects | dev.to | 3 Mar 2024
    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.
