Software development is hard, especially when you have to ensure every component works together; it's an integration maze! And running a full stack (like React, Go, and Postgres) on your dev machine often means one thing: running out of memory! The Fix: We'll show you how to use Proxymock to record your components, effectively letting you run the frontend (or any component) completely isolated.

Tired of complex setups and running out of memory just to test one component? Learn how to use Proxymock (a FREE tool) to solve your biggest testing headache: component isolation! This demo shows you how to record and mock interactions across a complex React, Golang, and PostgreSQL stack, allowing you to find bugs before they ever hit production. In This Demo: This strategy lets you easily isolate components, simulate customer behavior, and ensure quality with lightning-fast local testing.

Here's how Datadog did it with Apache Iceberg for their time series forecasting model TOTO. The key challenge: extracting massive historical observability data (metrics spanning years) and running incremental preprocessing pipelines without overwhelming production services. Iceberg solved this by providing schema governance, consistency guarantees, and seamless integration with ML tools like Ray and PyTorch.
