MockIt is a self-hosted tool for quickly creating and managing mocked API endpoints through a web interface, running via Docker. It supports live reload of routes, delays, CORS, basic authentication, and chaos engineering features.

Use cases

• mock out REST API endpoints before the backend is built
• create a fake API with delays to test loading states
• simulate failing endpoints with chaos engineering
• set up a local mock server with CORS and basic auth
• quickly stub HTTP endpoints without writing server code
• test frontend apps against a configurable fake API

When to choose

• you need a GUI-driven mock API server running locally via Docker
• you want live-editable routes, delays, auth, and failure simulation out of the box
• your real backend APIs are not ready yet and the frontend needs a real HTTP service

When to avoid

• you need contract-based mocking from OpenAPI/GraphQL schemas
• you prefer lightweight in-process mocking libraries in your test suite
• you need a maintained tool - the project has seen limited recent activity
