Intro to proxymock, a free traffic-based service mocking tool within VS Code.

Speedscale's proxymock is a free VS Code plugin that passively listens to transactions, so developers can replay past responses or inbound transactions like a time machine. Past transactions can serve as non-rate-limited service mocks, editable databases, or even regression/load/chaos tests. Building service mocks to serve as service virtualization/mocks can be time consuming and manual. Maintaining complex, shared environments for engineering incurs expensive cloud costs and aren't often accurate.
