Microcks
Open source Kubernetes Native tool for API Mocking and Contract Testing.
Overview
Microcks is designed for Kubernetes environments, allowing you to deploy mock and test artifacts directly into your clusters. It supports various specification formats like OpenAPI, Postman Collections, and GraphQL to generate live mocks and run contract tests.
✨ Key Features
- Kubernetes-native architecture
- Multi-spec support (OpenAPI, Postman, GraphQL, gRPC)
- API mocking and service virtualization
- Contract testing to ensure conformance
- Dynamic response templating
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Kubernetes-native design and deployment
- Combines mocking with contract testing
- Support for a wide range of API specification formats
Unique Value: Provides a unified, Kubernetes-native platform for both API mocking and contract testing, streamlining development and QA in a cloud-native workflow.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Automated contract testing in a GitOps workflow
- Deploying mock dependencies within a Kubernetes cluster
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Simple local mocking without Kubernetes
- Users unfamiliar with containerization and cloud-native concepts
🏆 Alternatives
More tightly integrated with Kubernetes and CI/CD for automated contract testing compared to general-purpose mock servers.
