## What it is
Keploy is a developer-centric API and integration testing platform that records real application traffic, database queries, and streaming events, then replays them as automated tests with auto-generated data mocks. It uses eBPF to capture traffic at the network layer, making it code-less and language-agnostic, and runs locally, in CI, or across Kubernetes.

## Use cases
- generate api tests from real traffic
- auto-generate integration tests with mocked dependencies
- record and replay api calls as test cases
- create test data mocks for databases and queues
- run regression tests in ci from production traffic
- achieve high test coverage without writing unit tests
- test apis without changing application code

## When to choose
- you want automated API and integration tests without writing test code
- you need to capture and replay real traffic for regression testing
- you want virtualized dependencies like databases and queues in tests
- your stack is polyglot and you need a language-agnostic testing tool
- you want to run traffic-based tests in CI or Kubernetes sandboxes

## When to avoid
- you need fine-grained unit testing of individual functions
- your environment cannot run eBPF (e.g., some managed or Windows-only setups)
- you need a simple manual API client like Postman rather than automated test generation
- your compliance policy forbids capturing production traffic
