Deployd vs Insomnia REST Client: What are the differences?
What is Deployd? A toolkit for building realtime APIs. Deployd is the simplest way to build realtime APIs for web and mobile apps. Ready-made, configurable Resources add common functionality to a Deployd backend, which can be further customized with JavaScript Events.
What is Insomnia REST Client? The most intuitive cross-platform REST API Client 😴. Insomnia is a powerful REST API Client with cookie management, environment variables, code generation, and authentication for Mac, Window, and Linux.
Deployd and Insomnia REST Client can be primarily classified as "API" tools.
Some of the features offered by Deployd are:
- No boilerplate
- Dashboard
- 1-step deploy
On the other hand, Insomnia REST Client provides the following key features:
- Mac, Windows and Linux
- Data import/export
- SSL client certificates
Deployd and Insomnia REST Client are both open source tools. Insomnia REST Client with 10.2K GitHub stars and 590 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Deployd with 4.96K GitHub stars and 685 GitHub forks.
Postman supports automation and organization in a way that Insomnia just doesn't. Admittedly, Insomnia makes it slightly easy to query the data that you get back (in a very MongoDB-esque query language) but Postman sets you up to develop the code that you would use in development/testing right in the editor.
