Show HN: Caffeine, minimum viable back end for prototyping

• caffeine

  5 1,165 8.2 Go

  A basic REST service for JSON data - enough for prototyping and MVPs! (by rehacktive)

  Nice to see that the interface for the DB was separated out:

  https://github.com/rehacktive/caffeine/blob/master/service/s...

  It's not "MVP" fashion but even for only one implementation making these interfaces is critical IMO.

  That said, if it's not too much maybe consider adding a SQLite backend! :)

• Caffeine

  14 11,604 8.9 Java

  A high performance caching library for Java

  And also a (very efficient) Java cache library https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine

• json-server

  30 61,223 6.2 JavaScript

  Get a full fake REST API with zero coding in less than 30 seconds (seriously)

  Another similar project that I use for mocking API server https://github.com/typicode/json-server

• WireMock

  3 5,007 9.4 Java

  A tool for mocking HTTP services

  

  I have used WireMock in the past: https://github.com/wiremock/wiremock

  It's more complex than Caffeine, but it has a lot of options.

  It can also run as a proxy and generate the mocks from actual http requests passing through the proxy

• libcaffeine

  4 17 1.7 C++

  A library for broadcasting to Caffeine.tv

  

  Since we are collecting :) there is also a streaming service https://www.caffeine.tv/

• Testify

  25 16,338 5.5 Go

  A toolkit with common assertions and mocks that plays nicely with the standard library

  

  Very cool. You could simplify the tests by using testify [0] assertions and possibly a test suite. Then it'd be easier to add additional test cases.
