Disclaimer: We're an early adopter of Stainless at Mux.
I've spent more of my time than I'd like to admit managing both OpenAPi spec files [1] and fighting with openapi-generator [2] than any sane person should have to. While it's great having the freedom to change the templates an thus generated SDKs you get with using that sort of approach, it's also super time consuming, and when you have a lot of SDKs (we have 6 generated SDKs), in my experience it needs someone devoted to managing the process, staying up with template changes etc.
Excited to see more SDK languages come to Stainless!

Same. I use https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient
If you need a little more control or automation, it can also generate scripts for cURL or PowerShell (and others) directly from the request. Organization is on you, but I prefer that over a heavyweight and opinionated tool like Postman.
The .http files can also be used in Jetbrains Rider (probably their other suites as well)
Flurl and others
Project mention: What is the industry standard today in C++ to deploy REST microservices in Kubernetes? | /r/cpp | 2023-09-06Another good one is restclient-cpp.

Project mention: What is the industry standard today in C++ to deploy REST microservices in Kubernetes? | /r/cpp | 2023-09-06My favourite was Microsoft's cpprestsdk, but for some reason now is in maintenance mode, I don't know why, so it's hard to suggest it for new projects. A nice alternative is restc-cpp, that's has a good high-level interface, if this is what you want.
Looks very nice; I've also given up with Postman. gRPC support would probably get Bruno into my daily workflow immediately. I spent a couple hours in Postman trying to get gRPC to work and could not- the .proto files were never used successfully, and I had better experiences with Kreya [0] and grpcui [1].
