Show HN: Tusk Drift – Open-source tool for automating API tests
Hey HN, I'm Marcel from Tusk. We’re launching Tusk Drift, an open source tool that generates a full API test suite by recording and replaying live traffic. How it works: 1. Records traces from live traffic (what gets captured) 2. Replays traces as API tests with mocked responses (how replay works) 3. Detects deviations between actual vs. expected output (what you get) Unlike traditional mocking libraries, which require you to manually emulate how dependencies behave, Tusk Drift automatically records what these dependencies respond with based on actual user behavior and maintains recordings over time. The reason we built this is because of painful past experiences with brittle API test suites and regressions that would only be caught in prod. Our SDK instruments your Node service, similar to OpenTelemetry. It captures all inbound requests and outbound calls like database queries, HTT
