MirageJS vs Postman: What are the differences?
Developers describe MirageJS as "Build complete frontend features, even if your API doesn't exist". It is an API mocking library that lets you build, test and share a complete working JavaScript application without having to rely on any backend services. On the other hand, Postman is detailed as "Only complete API development environment". It is the only complete API development environment, used by nearly five million developers and more than 100,000 companies worldwide.
MirageJS and Postman can be categorized as "API" tools.
Some of the features offered by MirageJS are:
- API mocking
- ORM
- Unit tests
On the other hand, Postman provides the following key features:
- Compact layout
- HTTP requests with file upload support
- Formatted API responses for JSON and XML
MirageJS is an open source tool with 3.12K GitHub stars and 91 GitHub forks. Here's a link to MirageJS's open source repository on GitHub.

Amazon Route 53
Amazon Route 53 is designed to give developers and businesses an extremely reliable and cost effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating human readable names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other. Route 53 effectively connects user requests to infrastructure running in Amazon Web Services (AWS) – such as an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer, or an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket – and can also be used to route users to infrastructure outside of AWS.
