• Fault and latency injection lets you test the error paths that never occur on demand in a real sandbox.
• Record-and-replay produces a realistic mock from live traffic quickly.
• Runs anywhere: embedded, standalone, container or cloud.

• Open source and self-hostable, so sensitive data never leaves your infrastructure.
• Preserves referential integrity across tables.
• Far cheaper than the commercial data-privacy platforms.

• Recorded stubs drift from the real service unless you re-record or verify contracts.
• Complex stateful scenarios get verbose in JSON.
• HTTP only — not for message queues or gRPC without extensions.

• Young project with a small community.
• Fewer database connectors than the incumbents.
• Self-hosting is operational work.

Teams whose integration tests depend on third-party HTTP services.

Teams that need anonymised test data but cannot justify enterprise pricing.
