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

Dec 16, 2025 By Speedscale In Speedscale

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.

How to Test Your React Frontend When the Backend Is Offline

Dec 15, 2025 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale

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

Dec 12, 2025 By Speedscale In Speedscale

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!

HTTP API vs REST API vs Web API: Architectures & How to Monitor Them

Dec 11, 2025 By Dotcom-Monitor In Dotcom-Monitor

APIs power everything. From login flows to checkout systems to internal microservice communication. But as teams scale, so does the confusion around the terminology: HTTP API vs REST API vs Web API. Many articles treat these as interchangeable, but the differences are real, and they affect reliability, performance, caching behavior, authentication flows, and ultimately how you monitor your endpoints.

How Exchange Uptime and API Reliability Impact Crypto Trading Success

Dec 11, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters

Crypto trading is fast-paced, data-dependent, and highly sensitive to system performance. Yet many new investors focus on fees, coin variety, or user experience long before examining a platform's uptime or API reliability. In reality, the technical stability of an exchange is one of the most important factors influencing trade execution, risk management, and overall user safety. Understanding how uptime and backend reliability affect your outcomes can help you choose the right platform and protect yourself during periods of high market volatility.

What I Learned From Building an eBPF-Based Traffic Capture Application

Dec 10, 2025 By Shaun Duncan In Speedscale

I just finished building Speedscale’s eBPF-based component to capture and analyze network traffic in a Kubernetes cluster, and it forced me to confront some uncomfortable truths about observability. While there were certainly some challenges along the way, particularly in dealing with Go applications, the approach was relatively straightforward.

Building dbRosetta Part 5: We Need an API

Dec 10, 2025 By Grant Fritchey In Redgate

Because I don’t want to have to fight with our support team (they’re awesome, but busy) I decided that, initially, I’m going to host dbRosetta at ScaryDBA.com. I have full control of the web site, and I won’t be breaking Redgate Software entirely if I accidently do something silly. Before starting the process of developing our next prompt, or set of prompts, I discussed the project with CoPilot. We agreed to break the next part into two pieces.
