A gist of the article is that cloud-based API tools like Postman can expose your data, and leave you stuck when servers fail or docs lag (both actually happened multiple time in the recent period).
Offline-first API workflows, on the other hand, offer much better security, efficiency, and more developer control.
This isn’t about swearing off the cloud. You’ll still hit live endpoints for real requests. You’ll host a bunch of things, as you should. But secrets and API Keys? You’re really let a 3rd party cloud take care of those? I sure don’t want to.
