WireMock Runner: API Simulation Anywhere You Build

WireMock Runner is a containerized service designed to simulate APIs in secure and localized environments while maintaining management capabilities in WireMock Cloud. It allows developers to execute mock APIs within their own infrastructure, such as laptops or private clusters, facilitating hybrid workflows that integrate seamlessly with existing development processes. This service enhances the WireMock Cloud experience by offering advanced simulation features like stateful mocking and support for gRPC and GraphQL, making it ideal for regulated industries like banking and healthcare. WireMock Runner provides a flexible solution for simulating APIs behind firewalls, enabling fast feedback loops for local development, and integrating into CI/CD pipelines without the need for external network dependencies. By incorporating configuration-as-code and compatibility with GitOps workflows, it supports secure and compliant API interaction recording and replay, catering to real-world developer needs and simplifying the transition from open-source WireMock to enterprise-level capabilities.
