## What it is
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
