Enterprise Spring Boot APIs should be tested at three levels: unit tests for business logic, integration tests for external service behavior, and traffic replay for production edge cases. Most teams only do the first. This guide shows all three using a real Spring Boot application that calls external APIs (SpaceX, US Treasury) with JWT authentication. The kind of service that looks simple in development and breaks in production.

Production bugs that only reproduce in actual traffic can be some of the most frustrating bugs in software development. You can stare at your logs, add traces to your code, add instrumentation – and still not be able to see the actual requests that went over the wire. And that gets even harder when the requests are encrypted and the system is a black box. You can use tools like Wireshark or Kubeshark to capture the requests.

We’ve made a small but important improvement to API tokens in StatusGator. API tokens now support permission levels. When creating a token, you can choose between: That’s it. A simple change that gives you more control and better security.

We’ve added service status page ratings to API v3. You can now access the same letter grades, descriptions, and average acknowledgment delay metrics that appear on StatusGator service pages – directly from the API.

The web was built for humans, but now the agents are taking over. Humans look at a web page and see content rendered by their browser. AI agents see 180,000 tokens of nav bars, footers, and div soup — burning through their context window on junk that makes them slower and stupider. The web needs to evolve, and we as developers are driving the shift. AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini are how we interact with documentation, CLIs, and products today.

How we built an AI agent that implements Jira tickets, creates merge requests, and tracks them on its own, and our journey to get to that point.

We’re excited to announce that Speedscale’s proxymock is now available as an OpenClaw skill on ClawHub, bringing powerful API traffic replay capabilities directly into your Claude workflows.
