Traffic Replay: Production Without Production Risk

Jul 29, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
The software and product life cycle is fraught with pitfalls and tradeoffs. While testing applications under production-like load is critical to ensuring the reliability, performance, and security of your data storage and software services, you need to do this testing without actually affecting the production data and systems. In essence, you have to pull off the impossible – be as close to production as you can without actually being production.

Stop guessing! Speedscale's Notebook finds anything in your traffic.

Jul 29, 2025 By Speedscale In Speedscale
Debugging complex microservices just got an upgrade. This video demonstrates Speedscale's innovative Notebook capability, allowing you to perform advanced substring searches and filter production traffic based on deeply nested JSON fields within request and response bodies. Unlike traditional observability tools that only record telemetry, Speedscale's always-on recorder captures full traffic payloads, empowering you to precisely pinpoint issues, identify specific user calls, or validate API versions. Streamline your troubleshooting, enhance your testing, and gain unprecedented visibility into your production environment.

Speedscale: Avoid Regulatory Icebergs with Traffic Replay, and Save Money

Jul 22, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
It has never been more critical to establish a solid foundation for regulatory compliance. Regulations govern a wide range of functions. Some of them are obvious, such as health and human services, patient data, medical devices, and credit payments. Some of them are less obvious, especially with the ever-changing definition of what constitutes private and identifiable data. This article provides an overview of regulatory compliance challenges and the hidden risks organizations face beneath the surface.

API Security: Validating Auth and Access with Traffic Simulation Starts with Behavior

Jul 18, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
Security breaches rarely begin with a hidden zero-day exploit or a complex web of escalated hacks. They often start in very simple ways – an internal team member is breached, a permission is misconfigured, an overly permissive API endpoint is overlooked, or a JWT simply doesn’t expire. An API, or application programming interface, is a set of protocols and tools that enable different software systems to communicate and exchange data, making them essential in modern software development.

API Staging Is Not Production - But Speedscale Makes It Close

Jul 14, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
Staging environments are often looked at as the testing ground ahead of the “real” production environment. The idea is simple – build a duplicate of your production environment, run your tests, and ship with confidence. But the reality of using staging in the real world as part of a holistic API testing strategy is rarely that clean. No matter how meticulously you mirror production services, staging always falls a little short.

Boba Paradox

Jul 11, 2025 By Alan Mon In Speedscale
It's 2PM on a Thursday. Your engineering team is knee-deep in bugs from a recent release. But what's the Slack channel buzzing about? Not flaky tests. Not integration coverage. Not mocking services. It's whether to order brown sugar boba or taro with oat milk. Let's be honest: for many companies, it's easier to justify $8 on boba than $800 on testing tools. And we're not here to judge-we're here to understand why.

From Guesswork to Guarantees: How Traffic Replay Improves Release Confidence

Jul 11, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
In modern software development, the pressure to move fast is matched only by the need to get it right. Teams working within the software development lifecycle (SDLC) must constantly balance velocity and quality, ensuring releases are stable, secure, and performant. Traditional software development models often relied on manual verification and human intuition to validate releases; however, as systems have grown in complexity, guesswork is no longer sufficient to meet these rising needs.

Streamline API testing with Proxy Mock! Capture, mock, and replay API calls locally

Jul 10, 2025 By Speedscale In Speedscale
Alan Mon introduces Proxy Mock, a powerful tool for capturing and replaying API calls. Learn how to effortlessly record inbound and outbound API requests and responses. The demonstration highlights how Proxy Mock operates entirely on your local machine, eliminating the need for cloud services or internet connectivity for testing. See how to set up Proxy Mock, inspect captured API calls (including request/response headers, body, and unique signatures), and leverage it to mock API responses for seamless local testing, ultimately boosting productivity and reducing the need for costly non-production environments.
