Beeceptor is a very reliable software, which I use to test APIs. Local routing is very helpful. This has made cloud integrations much easier to test.

Postman is reliable and practical. Whether it's development, testing or supporting my documentation for individual/collaborative projects at my organisation, Postman is the leading API platform. It is easy to explore, validate and share API requests, which has been particularly useful in testing some rate limiting development for an application. Testing requests collections, rate limiting, flooding and repeatable scenarios across browsers/tabs/users, it has allowed us to validate secure and reliable feature development for all environments. The fundamentals are easy to pick-up, so I believe the learning curve with Postman is not as steep as with other software delivery/integration and testing tools. There is a very good balance of simplicity and enhanced capability, depending on your use-case.

My overall experience with Amazon API Gateway has been positive. The platform simplifies endpoint generation and provides useful tools such as the test console fro checking requests before deployment. Its authentication and authorization options integrate well with AWS IAM, Amazon Cognito, and Lambda authorizers, making it easier to secure APIs. API documentation and monitoring features are also helpful, although the setup process can feel complex for new users. Troubleshooting permission errors and managing costs at high traffic volumes can be challenging, but overal it is a reliable and scalable API management solution.

A must use. I don't think there is any alternative that is good enough to replace this. This as become a standard for centralising API definitions and docs.

Good experience overall, but the deployment process could take more time than expected. Customer service wasn't the best. It used to be responsive and communicative, but after merging with Salesforce, everything is just AI, even when trying to create a support ticket.

I have been at Harmony for two years. It's a simple thing to use, and I use it every day to connect various tools and systems together. It's got tons of prebuilt options for connecting apps to apps. which makes everything run very smoothly and for which I am deeply grateful.

I've been using Xano to build the backend (database and APIs) of my apps for 4+ years now and it's always been an incredibly reliable partner. It's one of the most stable and powerful no-code platforms I've used over the years. I have almost never encountered a bug and, the few times I have, the support has been incredible: super supportive and responsive.
