APISIX vs Bruno

Apache APISIX is an open-source, high-performance API gateway and ingress controller that provides load balancing, rate limiting, authentication, and observability for API traffic. It supports dynamic routing configuration via an admin API without requiring restarts. APISIX is built on Nginx and LuaJIT with a plugin architecture supporting over 80 built-in plugins.

Bruno is an open-source API client that stores API collections directly in the filesystem using a plain text markup language (Bru). It is designed for offline-first use and Git-friendly collaboration without cloud sync.
