Mocky is a free online service (with self-hostable source) for generating custom HTTP responses to mock web service backends. It consists of a Scala/HTTP4s API backed by PostgreSQL and a React/TypeScript frontend.

Use cases

• mock backend API responses while the real backend is still in development
• test an HTTP client against custom status codes and payloads
• generate fake JSON endpoints for frontend prototyping
• simulate slow or error responses for resilience testing
• share mock API URLs with teammates during integration work

When to choose

• you need a quick hosted mock endpoint without running your own server
• you want to decouple frontend work from backend availability
• you need custom HTTP responses (status, headers, body) for testing

When to avoid

• you need contract-based mocking with OpenAPI or request matching
• you require guaranteed SLA or long-term persistence of mocks
• you want fully offline mocking inside your test suite
