I work in banking in Europe, one of the internet-only ones. We have super rigid governance routines regarding cloud storage. You can’t store a single byte on any cloud service, even incidentally, without a thorough review ensuring that no customer data is present.

Meaning, e.g. there are specific, rigid rules regarding how Postman can be used while developing backend services, to avoid that customer info is inadvertently transmitted during testing.

Of course, it’s a PITA, but it serves its purpose.

Yeah, Postman has gotten dirty. Why the hell should a REST client/testing tool transmit everything to the cloud?

Postwoman might be enough for you if looking for a replacement and it's FOSS

Depending on what you're doing, just use curl

Just like you could just use nano in place of IntelliJ.

But the idea that Postman is actually git in that analogy is hogwash and a way to wrest data out of people.
