WireMock最近宣布,它已經籌集了650萬美元的種子資金WireMock雲,第一個API開發人員的生產力平台。這一輪融資是由脊企業加入了第一縷Venture Partners和潦草的企業與幾個天使投資人。和建築的成功模擬工具,其廣受歡迎的開源API WireMock雲修複發展為現代的鬥爭,API-rich架構。api被稱為現代企業是至關重要的,使他們能夠連接和集成平台和應用程序從第三方,和自己的軟件和團隊之間的內部。根據Gartner的數據,94%的組織使用或計劃使用第三方api,從2019年的52%。但與api構建軟件是很困難的。利用api開發可以是昂貴的生活,不會總是給開發人員需要全方位的反應,或大規模的負載測試。和沙箱提供的API提供者(如果存在的話)往往是不穩定的,不可靠的,而緩慢。開發團隊經常需要與內部集成api不存在,創建前端團隊等瓶頸的情況下,試圖與後端同事發展並行。WireMock創造了WireMock雲,這是第一個API為開發和測試軟件開發人員的生產力平台API-dependent環境。 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
