WireMock最近宣布,它已经筹集了650万美元的种子资金WireMock云,第一个API开发人员的生产力平台。这一轮融资是由脊企业加入了第一缕Venture Partners和潦草的企业与几个天使投资人。和建筑的成功模拟工具,其广受欢迎的开源API WireMock云修复发展为现代的斗争,API-rich架构。api被称为现代企业是至关重要的,使他们能够连接和集成平台和应用程序从第三方,和自己的软件和团队之间的内部。根据Gartner的数据,94%的组织使用或计划使用第三方api,从2019年的52%。但与api构建软件是很困难的。利用api开发可以是昂贵的生活,不会总是给开发人员需要全方位的反应,或大规模的负载测试。和沙箱提供的API提供者(如果存在的话)往往是不稳定的,不可靠的,而缓慢。开发团队经常需要与内部集成api不存在,创建前端团队等瓶颈的情况下,试图与后端同事发展并行。WireMock创造了WireMock云,这是第一个API为开发和测试软件开发人员的生产力平台API-dependent环境。 Whether through an OpenAPI specification, by recording API traffic, using an SDK, or even creating manually, the platform is able to simulate both third-party and internal APIs quickly, safely, and reliably. Plus it can even simulate nonexistent APIs still under development, so that different software teams can keep developing simultaneously, especially in microservice architectures. WireMock was founded by Uri Maoz and Tom Akehurst, the company’s CTO. Akehurst originally created the open-source API mocking tool WireMock. And it now has over 4 million monthly recorded downloads of its Java library, and 200 contributors, and is being used by over 3,000 open-source projects. WireMock’s API developer productivity platform WireMock Cloud incorporates the open-source solution alongside other developer productivity features and offers free, team and enterprise tiers. And by focusing solely on bottom-up product-led growth, WireMock Cloud has won hundreds of paying customers including Bilt Rewards, OVO Energy, Jumia, and ePay, and thousands of signups monthly. WireMock plans to use the investment to build out a US go-to-market team as well as its engineering team. And the company plans to develop WireMock Cloud further to cover more of the API lifecycle, building towards a comprehensive API developer productivity platform. KEY QUOTES: “You can’t build useful integrated software without consuming a lot of APIs. But building, testing and maintaining that software shouldn’t have to rely on live APIs or inadequate sandboxes from multiple companies, not to mention under-development internal APIs. That’s a terrible model and it makes development slow, expensive and frustrating.” “APIs are the glue that holds our interconnected software world together. They shouldn’t be getting developers stuck. WireMock frees developers and QA teams from their dependence on live or unimplemented APIs, so they can build and test connected applications with freedom and confidence.” — Uri Maoz, co-founder and CEO of WireMock “I built the WireMock OSS because I knew there had to be a better way for developers to develop in an environment where so many API dependencies were holding them back and slowing their delivery.” — Tom Akehurst “Often, investment is educated guesswork about the market and its needs. When it comes to WireMock, there was no need to guess; the impressive customer base proves that they’re filling a growing need. With API use exploding, WireMock’s approach, allowing companies to simulate APIs robustly, accurately and quickly, is the winning formula that software engineers need.” — Akriti Dokania, Partner at Ridge Ventures Trending on Pulse 2.0
