factory_boy VS Selenium Wire

Factory Boy doesn't currently support asynchronous operations, but there is an async-factory-boy extension with enough async support for most use cases. There is also an open pull request in Factory Boy with recent updates (July 2023) that will hopefully be merged soon.

You can use it with Faker and factory_boy (for ORM integration).

When releasing a new application (or feature) I've always loaded each table in my development environments database with a few million rows. Tools like Python's Factory Boy [1] or Ruby's Factory Bot [2] make this trivial.

After the data is loaded up, start navigating through the application and it will become evident where improvements need to be made. Tools like Django Debug Toolbar [3] help expose where the bad ORM calls are or also by tailing Postgres log files.

Ugh, tough one. In that case, there's a module called seleniumwire(exclusive to Python), it might be able to help you out with what you need; check it out.

Firstly, you’ll need to install Selenium Wire to extend Selenium’s Python bindings because using the default Selenium module for implementing proxies that require authentication makes the whole process complicated. You can do it using the pip command:

Before I was using selenium-wire which has a very easy way to get this information:

The problem is Selenium does not support adding headers. A third-party solution like Selenium Wire might solve it. Install it with pip install selenium-wire.
