24 alternatives to Apate API mocking/prototyping server and Rust unit test library

API prototyping/mocking server & rust unit tests library to mimic external 3rd party API endpoints with Rhai scripting capabilities - rustrum/apate

Apate is a development tool that provides both an API mocking server and a Rust unit test library. It allows developers to simulate API responses during development and testing without relying on live endpoints. The… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    We'd love to share our work with you: Restate, a system for workflows-as-code (durable execution). With SDKs in JS/Java/Kotlin and a lightweight runtime built in Rust/Tokio. https://github.com/restatedev/ https://restate.dev/ It is free and open, SDKs are MIT-licensed, runtime permissive BSL (basically just the minimal Amazon defense). We worked on that for a bit over a year. A few points I think are worth mentioning: - Restate's runtime is a single binary, self-contained, no dependencies aside from a durable disk. It contains basically a…

    Apidog▲570

    Development teams often struggle with using multiple tools like Postman and Swagger for API design, development, and testing. This fragmented approach leads to outdated API specs and chaotic collaboration. So we built Apidog: a single, unified API platform for team collaboration. It has a beautiful interface that makes it easy to create API spec, generate request data from API spec, validate responses, create mock data, orchestrate test scenarios, and publish API documentation. Apidog = Postman + Swagger + Mock + JMeter.

    Hello HN, I introduce a property-based testing tool for Ruby. Ruby's ease of test-writing and rich ecosystem are widely acclaimed. However, property-based testing is not as widely used as in other languages such as Haskell or Elixir, and I think this is because there is no de facto testing tool. This gem currently not only has the basic functionality of stateless property-based testing but also has the following features: - Support verbose mode that allows you to see its shrinking procedure and algorithms. - Support several concurrency/parallel executions of each test. As of now,…
