Great list :-) I've been looking for new DB tool and I think I just found one: TablePlus.

Lately I've been using this new great app, it's basically a collection of many small/micro tools that work great together: webacus.dev

There are some good tools in the article so thanks for that, but it's also a little lazy, like nobody's excited when you say that an IDE has a Git integration or built-in terminal.

Just tried ApiDog was a little bit overwhelming for sure. Postman or swagger are enough no need to reinvent the wheel for this.

Unless I can think of any feature that has a huge advantage over Postman. I don't think it will be easier to switch to this.

Thanks !

Signoz - Open-source observability and monitoring platform.
New-Relic...

This is telemetry, spyiiiing (probably from Microsoft...) :D your read this all the time...

Since I use New-Relic (for my own usage, not at work, so free), I can say it's great... and for a full-monitoring tool, this is very fast. You can have a machine setup in less than 5 minutes (if you don't have to wait 1 week for a firewall opening of course) and with a lot of metrics and 'data sets' - like processes over time), logs are the same, and there are many integrations ready.
Triggering and alerting is powerful, with ML and AI, querying and visualization too (not Grafana or Supersets, but very functional and clean).
Also, monitoring of websites, with synthetic checks. And much more.

It's much faster than Prometheus to setup (in New-Relic specific collectors are already there, quick to install and connect automatically, and you're done), Grafana isn't hard to setup or connect so...

Never tried Signoz, but knew it by name, it seems nice too 😊
