keploy
Testing for Developers. Toolkit that creates test-cases and data mocks from API calls, DB queries, etc.
Project mention: Test generating tools - future of test automation? | reddit.com/r/webdev | 2022-12-21I recently discovered Keploy (https://github.com/keploy/keploy) and was really impressed by its promise that it can generate API tests with code coverage by itself just by recording API calls and mocking everything that goes outside of the application - including calls to external API endpoints and the database. It seems like a super useful tool and potentially a game changer, especially now that GPT is starting another wave of automation.

It is not hard to isolate and stub a database the problem is you will not catch a lot of errors, e.g. writing a 40 char string into a VCHAR(10), DateTime conversations, ...
In Ruby on Rails it is quite common to use a real database in the unit tests. Even before containers came out and it is still fast (yes, less than 1 second).
In rails you use the same database instance for all the tests, so you do not have spin up a database instance for every case. Instead you use a database cleaner.
There also exists a JS implementation: https://github.com/khaiql/dbcleaner
