With 13 million downloads just this year, WireMock to join forces with UP9 and gain Machine Learning and seamless Kubernetes integration capabilities, dramatically improving cloud native developer productivity
UP9, the leader in microservice monitoring and testing for Kubernetes, announced it has acquired London-based MockLab, the creator of the world’s most popular open source API mocking project WireMock. The acquisition is expected to expand the test automation capabilities of UP9, which uses Machine Learning (ML) technologies to provide a modern alternative to time consuming and antiquated API testing methods. The creator of WireMock, Tom Akehurst, will join UP9 as Chief Technology Officer.
APIs are critical to all organizations that rely on software to run their business. API regressions and security vulnerabilities adversely impact the business if they reach production, consume precious developer time and slow down releases. UP9 enables Kubernetes developers to ensure their APIs perform reliably and securely and are production-ready. By unpacking API protocols like Kafka, REST, gRPC, Redis and RabbitMQ, and continuously monitoring the API payloads, UP9 detects API regressions and prevents security vulnerabilities from drifting into production. UP9 was co-founded by Alon Girmonsky, the founder of the Load Testing platform BlazeMeter, which was acquired by CA technologies in 2016.
