Eventually we’ll have a really cool sandbox or something similar for prospective developers to explore Skyramp, but for now we’re providing demo projects in multiple languages (REST, gRPC, and Thrift) to help get them started on their journey to shift let microservices testing and shipping code with confidence.
The funny thing is, there are precious few well-maintained projects out there that support all these standards. Actually, none we can find publicly. The best of the REST is WeaveSocks, and as much as we love those colorful knitted patterns, broken stuff like spotty M1 support has us frustrated.
Google seems to be keeping up support for Online Boutique for gRPC. So we added REST and Thrift support. Yeah we did! And we did this because we guessed the world wanted an open-source sample microservices application that could be used for cloud native application development, API testing, and microservices testing across different standard — REST, gRPC, Thrift.
So while we work on the easy way to test and solve integration and performance errors (shameless plug) among your many microservices and APIs — with reusability, modularity, and readability close to our hearts — we hope this multi-standard tool will be valuable for anyone who needs to build demos no matter their preferences.
Oh, and If you’re in the market for socks, we’d be happy to refer you to a few great sites.
