AWS Import/Export vs Postman

AWS Import/Export vs Postman: What are the differences?

Developers describe AWS Import/Export as "Transfer your data directly onto and off of storage devices using Amazon’s internal network and bypassing the Internet". Import/Export supports importing and exporting data into and out of Amazon S3 buckets. For significant data sets, AWS Import/Export is often faster than Internet transfer and more cost effective than upgrading your connectivity. On the other hand, Postman is detailed as "Only complete API development environment". Postman is the only complete API development environment, used by nearly five million developers and more than 100,000 companies worldwide.

AWS Import/Export belongs to "Data Transfer" category of the tech stack, while Postman can be primarily classified under "API Tools".

Some of the features offered by AWS Import/Export are:

• Data Migration – If you have data you need to upload into the AWS cloud for the first time, AWS Import/Export is often much faster than transferring that data via the Internet.
• Content Distribution – Send data to your customers on portable storage devices.
• Direct Data Interchange – If you regularly receive content on portable storage devices from your business associates, you can have them send it directly to AWS for import into Amazon S3 or Amazon EBS.

On the other hand, Postman provides the following key features:

• Compact layout
• HTTP requests with file upload support
• Formatted API responses for JSON and XML
