Requestly is an incredibly useful tool for developers working on a large team with multiple staging envs, or numerous app endpoints for various APIs in a local environment. The Sessions feature is especially useful for documenting solutions or sharing with others since it captures the relevant network traffic, and screen recording enables others to easily reproduce. Requestly combines all the power of complicated tools like Charles Proxy and Postman in one app/chrome extension. I highly recommend giving it a try if you haven’t already–it will make your dev work so much easier. (Summarized)
Just loved the way Requestly saved several person hours for our dev team by allowing us to redirect and intercept requests. The simple yet efficient rules allowed us to seamlessly redirect requests from a single staging front-end server to local backend servers. This meant that our devs didn’t need to build or run the front-end server locally when focusing on backend tasks.
Requestly comes as a savior whenever the Adobe platform debugger shows a glitch in the launch library override. I used Requestly for redirect and mockup file server and it really helped me in dev and debugging. The interface is easy to use and creating a rule on one machine and accessing it from different machines makes it awesome.
Love using Requestly to swap versions of Adobe Launch from Prod to Staging and Dev. And also blocking various martech scripts to analyze their impacts on CWV(Core Web Vitals).
Great tool for frontend developers and QA tester for API response, redirects, mock data and much more. Requestly removes the dependency on waiting for backend API’s. Really useful to have in your frontend development environment.
