3 amazing developer tools you have not been using yet

One of the most important lessons I've ever learnt as a developer is to work smarter and and not harder and one of the best ways to live by that rule is to use tools that make you more productive and simplify your life today we'll look at three different tools that I use.

There are some tools which I use in my day to day life that I really Enjoy.

Bundle Phobia

This is an web application that allows you to determine how much an NPM Package will add to your total bundle size if you're working with modern front-end framework you want to try and keep the bundle size as low as possible to optimize the initial page loading speed for new users.
Bundle Phobia makes it very easy to analyse the addition of a new dependency to your project.
Just Enter The Package Name then it would tell you the bundle size and download time.
You can even upload your own package.
It also has JSON to see all of your dependencies ranked by size.\

Cloudcraft

Another web app that will help you design and budget your cloud infrastructure called cloud craft it's currently only available for AWS but even though I mostly use GCP I still find it useful it provides a very intuitive drag-and-drop interface that allows you to connect different cloud infrastructure services together not only is this great for planning but it's also great for budgeting once you have your infrastructure in place you can go to the budget tab and it will give you an estimated breakdown of your total cost and because all the major clouds have similar pricing models the actual results will translate pretty well to Azure and GCP

Figma

which is probably the most well known app on this list but I'm a longtime Adobe Illustrator user so for me to switch to figma means it has to offer at least 10 times more value than illustrator and it actually delivers on that in a variety of ways first of all figma is a design tool that allows you to draw graphics create mock-ups for your apps and while, it provides a desktop app it also provides a web app that's just as good and it achieves such amazing performance by using webassembly it seems kind of crazy but I'm Way more productive in the figma web app than I am in the adobe illustrator desktop app and it's completely free for my graphic design needs and because it's web-based can open up my project on any machine and all my files will be there immediately without any effort but aside from that.
It's also just a really well-designed piece of software it's similar to sketch in the sense that it gives you all the things that you need and want and none of the crap that you don't and it has some superpowers if you're an app developer for example you can lock up different events that happen on the elements and then you can even export your styles as CSS or as Android or iOS styles.
I've been consistently impressed with figma across the board and I really feel like I should be paying them more than zero dollars a month to be using this thing but there are times when a full-blown design tool is more than you actually need
