Requestly VS orbstack

Requestly- Makes frontend development cycle 10x faster with API Client, Mock Server, Intercept & Modify HTTP Requests and Session Replays.

If you want to intercept and modify a incoming json response for some specific url pattern, would a service worker be a good way to do so?

To illustrate, assume I frequently browse example.com and want to trick my browser into thinking that I have "favorited" every post. It's trivial to write a for loop that iterates over response.json and sets `is_favorite = true`. But it's not as clear to me where this script should ideally live in order to have the logic always executed before the response is made available to the site.

Your comment made me think about whether I can replace my overkill solution (https://requestly.io/) with something lightweight.

If you prefer open-source there is Requestly and Toolkit.

If you don't know Requestly, It is an open-source Chrome/Firefox/Edge extension to intercept & modify HTTP requests & responses. One of the popular features is to modify HTTP headers. We also offer workspaces for easy collaboration between team members.

Hey, open-source community, This is Sachin, One of the core maintainers of Requestly - An open-source alternative to Charles Proxy & Telerik Fiddler. In case you don’t know about Charles Proxy & Fiddler, both of them are two decades-old products used widely to Inspect & Modify HTTP traffic in web & mobile apps.

In /etc/hosts file you put only IP addresses and hostnames, i.e. 127.0.0.1 cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com. Then you have to set up a web server on localhost port 80 and put your image at http://localhost/steamcommunity/public/images/apps/753/1d0167575d746dadea7706685c0f3c01c8aeb6d8.jpg as well as other files from https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com. You also have to keep the URLs updated when they change upstream. It's not worth it. Better use a local proxy server like mitmproxy or requestly.

Requestly founder here. You are essentially looking for Requestly - A Chrome/Firefox browser extension to Intercept & Modify HTTP requests. Using Requestly you can actually do the following things

For development/Debugging: 1. VSCode - Got used to the key bindings and integrated terminal, so now it's really hard to switch 2. Requestly - For easily setting up local debugging environments. I am less of a UI guy, so this allows me to use the live UI of a deployed site, and redirect whichever request I want to play with to my local server. 3. Wireshark - To better understand a network protocol.

For a brief moment, I thought this was related to https://orbstack.dev

If you use a Mac and just want to mess around with linux try something like Orbstack(https://orbstack.dev/) to start up VMs and mess around. The benefit of this is you're going to break things a bunch as you get started. Going from there I'd start looking automating the deployment of the various components the 'old fashioned' way aka writing shell scripts/using SSH. Once you do that then go to using things like Ansible or Terraform etc.

FerretDB provides a Docker image allowing us to run it locally, for example via Orbstack, with a couple of simple commands.

OrbStack | Founding Engineer | US/Europe REMOTE | Full-time | https://orbstack.dev

OrbStack is making Docker containers & development environments delightful. Our app replaces Docker Desktop and makes containers faster, lighter, and easier to work with. It's the tool of choice for PlanetScale, Replicate, and other hot companies.

Containers should be a joy to use, not something you have to put up with. Let's build the future of dev envs.

As a founding engineer, you'll mainly work on breaking high-level ideas down into tough systems problems, solving them, and taking ownership of projects. If https://cpu.land and https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture excite you, you'll be right in place.

Before you give up, give OrbStack a try: https://orbstack.dev/

It’s significantly faster than Docker and some users in the Discord community have been able to use it to run hand-built Linux x86 VMs on Apple Silicon.

It’s a paid product though, but you can download it for free and try it out before paying.

If you haven't installed a Docker runtime, you might be happy with Orbstack. Other alternatives: DDEV docs: Docker installation.

For MacOS I can really recommend https://orbstack.dev

It integrates very nicely, has very low CPU idle usage and also lets you quickly spawn VMs with bidirectional file sharing set up.

Since I switched I haven't looked back.
