Simple & fast mock server written in rust.

Mochi streamlines the mock server creation process, eliminating the need for ad hoc, basic applications just to set up a simple HTTP endpoint. It offers features like HandleBars templating for dynamic responses, yet maintains a focus on simplicity and ease of use. With Mochi, developers can quickly build effective mocks with an emphasis on thorough observability, making the development and testing process more efficient.

• Fast, with a low footprint
• Helm/Kubernetes/Docker ready
• Simple Yaml API
• OpenTelemetry ready
• Templating with HandleBars

• tracing
• dynamic mocking
• advanced latency profiles
• templating with request body access (json, xml...)

• Install helm kubectl
• Rust for local development

• Clone the repo https://github.com/bloom-perf/mochi.git

• Modify ./helm/config
• helm install

Mochi introduces a few simple concepts to organize its configuration

• System Folder with the system name, containing apis and data or directly an api.
• Api Set of endpoints defining a system behaviour. A system can define multiple Apis, that must be prefixed (api v1, v2...)
• Rule Mostly an endpoint with a response. The response can be simply inlined in the api if it is short enough, or accessed from the data folder
• Data Folder at the system level where responses are defined and can be used to craft different apis.
• Response Yaml file that describes the response of an endpoint

One system called system with a single api containing one single route accessible on mochi/static/system/route

system/
    api.yml

api.yml

rules:
  - matches: POST  /route
    response: !OkJson "{content: \"hello\"}"

One system called system with two apis located in subfolders accessible on mochi/static/system/v1/route and mochi/static/system/v2/another

system/
    v1/
        api.yml
    v2/
        api.yml

v1/api.yml

rules:
  - matches: POST  /route
    response: !OkJson "{content: \"hello\"}"

v2/api.yml

rules:
  - matches: PATCH  /another
    response: !OkJson "{content: \"hello\"}"

One system called system with two apis located in subfolders accessible on mochi/static/system/v1/route and mochi/static/system/v2/another

system/
    data/
        response.yml
    v1/
        api.yml
    v2/
        api.yml

data/response.yml

status: 200
format: application/json
data: |
  {
    "static": "2"
  }

v1/api.yml

rules:
  - matches: POST  /route
    response: !File response

v2/api.yml

rules:
  - matches: PATCH  /another
    response: !File response

You can build your response based on some request data, and the Handlebars templating system.

Access

• request headers with the headers. prefix like this {{headers.my_header}}
• request url path parameters with url.path. prefix like this {{url.path.my_path_parameter}}
• request url query parameters with url.query. prefix like this {{url.query.my_query_parameter}}

response.yml

status: 200
format: application/json
data: |
  {
    "static": "2",
    "headers.header": "{{headers.header}}",
    "url.query.foo": {{#if url.query.foo }}"{{url.query.foo}}"{{else}}"none"{{/if}},
    "url.path.path_param": "{{ url.path.path_param }}",
    "unknown parameter url.test.test": "{{url.test.test}}"
  }

See ./tests/*

• CONFIG_PATH: specify the path where the configuration of the mock server is located (specify ./helm/config to work locally)
