Postman 7.2–GraphQL support

Although it was possible to use GraphQL with Postman, it wasn’t really supported out-of-the-box… until today. With the release of Postman 7.2 GraphQL is now officially supported. Sending GraphQL queries in the request body, using GraphQL variables, and GraphQL query autocompletion, … it all becomes available inside Postman.

Getting started

  • Create a new request in Postman
  • Enter a GraphQL endpoint for the url e.g. https://spotify-graphql-server.herokuapp.com/graphql
  • Select POST as your HTTP method
  • Go to the Body tab and select GraphQL
  • Select the GraphQL radio button
  • Now you can enter your GraphQL query and hit SEND:

Notice that the UI mentions 'no schema' and that you don’t get autocompletion out-of-the-box. To enable this you have to add the GraphQL API schema to Postman:

  • Go to the APIs tab in Postman
  • Click on the + New API button on the left
  • Name your API
  • Select GraphQL as your spec from the dropdown menu on the Define tab
  • Add your schema and save

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...
