How to Generate Test-Cases and Data Mocks for Microservices at Kernel Using eBPF

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Kernel-level recording of live API calls using eBPF UProbes/KProbes captures accept/read/write cycles and emits YAML test cases and realistic data mocks without SDKs or code changes. The pipeline creates virtual databases and integrates with JUnit, Jest, Go-Test formats, runs against isolated replays, and claims about 60% reduction in testing effort; a demo shows 66.7% coverage from six curl commands. Current limits: server-side only captures and partial TLS/encryption and websocket support.
