Load Testing Kafka #speedscale #kafka #loadtesting

Message brokers are a critical component of modern distributed systems, facilitating asynchronous communication between services. Load testing message broker integrations requires special considerations since the interaction patterns differ from traditional HTTP-based APIs. Speedscale provides specialized tooling to help you load test applications that integrate with message brokers by.

Top 5 WireMock Alternatives Best Practices

WireMock is a popular open source tool for simulating APIs in testing environments through the wiremock server in the wiremock cloud. It allows developers to stub HTTP responses, match requests by URL, headers, and body content, record and play back API interactions, and add configurable delays and errors. WireMock is known for its broad adoption and active community, which contribute to its reliability and ongoing updates.

AI Prediction for 2026

Every technology cycle comes with hype, backlash, and eventually… utility. AI is shaping up to be no different. As we head into 2026, the conversation is already shifting from “AI will replace everything” to “why isn’t this paying off yet?” This shift is heavily influenced by evolving market trends, as businesses and technologists respond to changes in customer behavior, operational patterns, and broader market conditions that shape expectations around AI.

How to Test Your React Frontend When the Backend Is Offline #speedscale #frontend #backend #coding

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.

Streamline Code Testing with Proxymock

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.

How to Test Your React Frontend When the Backend Is Offline

Picture this: You’ve spent hours perfecting your React component. The animations are smooth, the responsive design works flawlessly, and you’re ready to test the user flow. You click “Submit” and… nothing happens. Or worse, you get a cryptic CORS error. The problem? Your backend isn’t running. Again.

JWT Rot: Why Traffic Replay Tests Expire #speedscale #jwt #trafficreplay #apitesting #testautomation

Are your traffic replay tests crumbling because of expired tokens? You've got JWT Rot! When recording production traffic for integration or load testing, the embedded JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) often have a short expiration date. Once those tokens expire, your entire test suite fails, rendering your valuable traffic snapshots useless. Stop wasting time re-recording traffic. Learn how to defeat JWT Rot and ensure your security and API tests run reliably every time!
