Open-Source Bruno Brings API Testing Into Git, Challenging Postman's Cloud Model

Bruno offers developers a free, open-source alternative to Postman that treats API collections as version-controlled files stored locally, not in the cloud. By integrating with Git workflows, it enables transparent team collaboration while maintaining full data ownership—addressing growing frustration with SaaS vendor lock-in. This reflects a broader industry shift toward decentralized, developer-controlled tools over cloud-dependent platforms.
