Project history and usage

Keploy is an open-source API and integration testing platform that records real traffic, database calls, and streaming events, then replays them as deterministic tests and mocks.

The project is significant in the package-manager ecosystem because it ships a developer-facing CLI for a modern record-and-replay testing workflow, including eBPF-based traffic capture and CI usage.

Project history

The keploy/keploy repository was created on GitHub on 2022-01-19. The official README describes Keploy as a developer-centric testing tool that auto-generates tests and data mocks from real API calls, database queries, and streaming events.

By the 2026 README, Keploy emphasized code-less, language-agnostic capture at the network layer using eBPF. The documentation also split the project into installation, quickstart, record-replay, CI/CD, coverage, and cloud features.

Adoption history

Keploy developed visible adoption signals beyond a small CLI: the README linked to Slack, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, documentation, community materials, and the CNCF Landscape entry. On 2026-07-01, GitHub API metadata reported 17,843 stars and 2,252 forks, and Homebrew metadata listed v3.5.82 with 243 installs in the previous 30 days.

How it is used

The core CLI workflow is to install the Keploy agent, run an application with keploy record, exercise real API flows, then run keploy test to replay the captured traffic offline with mocks. The README describes support across languages because capture happens below application SDK boundaries.

Package users usually care about Keploy when they want integration tests without hand-writing large mock suites, especially for services that depend on databases, queues, or external APIs.

Why package nerds care

Keploy represents the packaging of eBPF-backed test capture as a normal developer CLI. That puts it in the same package-nerd conversation as tools that turn runtime behavior into reproducible artifacts: recorders, mock generators, and CI-friendly local infrastructure substitutes.
