The Microcks project was launched in 2015 at the emergence of containers and Kubernetes and has been designed from the ground up with cloud-native and microservices principles and design patterns.

💡From day one, Microcks had the vision of a multi-protocol API ecosystem due to the ubiquitous nature of API. This is especially true at the enterprise level where the technology strata are built over the years.

As numerous API styles and protocols coexist, a uniform way to accelerate and secure their delivery is required! Our objective is to establish Microcks as the de-facto standard tool for delivering this unified approach the Open-Source way 🙌

Microcks allows you to simulate API, easily build on-demand test and sandbox environments, and check the conformance of your API application. It makes this consistent across HTTP, gRPC, GraphQL, Kafka, MQTT, WebSockets, RabbitMQ, NATS, Google PubSub, AWS SQS & SNS, and other popular patterns and protocols of your API lifecycle. Microcks is a cross-functional collaborative platform to ease the transition to microservices, API-based cloud-native applications.
