## What it is
DuckRails is a self-hosted web application for quickly creating mock API endpoints with configurable responses, headers, status codes, delays, and dynamic scripts. It is no longer maintained and is archived for reference only.

## Use cases
- mock api endpoints for local development
- simulate unavailable third-party apis
- create fake rest endpoints with custom status codes and delays
- stub backend services while frontend is in development
- test error responses and timeouts

## When to choose
- you need a quick self-hosted mock server and don't mind unmaintained software
- you want a UI-driven tool to define mocks with static or scripted responses

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with bug fixes and security patches
- you prefer code-first mocking in your test suite
- you need modern tooling or long-term support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: mock-api, http-server, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, apis, web-development, testing
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: api-mocking, mock-server, ruby, archived, unmaintained, docker, web-server
