Kong Insomnia 8.3 introduces enhanced flexibility in project storage by reinstating 100% local storage through its Local Vault feature, alongside existing cloud synchronization and Git Sync options, catering to diverse user needs in API development and debugging. This update allows users to choose between local, cloud, or Git storage without mandating cloud usage, addressing user feedback that highlighted the necessity for a local-only option. Migration from pre-8.x versions defaults to Local Vault while maintaining optional Cloud Sync for collaboration, ensuring data privacy and control. Account management remains cloud-based for organization and billing purposes, though projects under Local Vault and Git Sync are excluded from cloud storage. The release underscores Kong's commitment to responding to user feedback, enhancing product capabilities, and expanding community support, with plans to double its engineering and support teams in the coming year. Insomnia's roadmap includes further development in local storage, project manageability, and security compliance, such as SOC 2, to provide a secure, scalable, and user-friendly environment for API lifecycle management.
