Show HN: Caffeine, minimum viable back end for prototyping

• caffeine

  6 1,177 0.0 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:

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

  43 15,204 9.7 Java

  A high performance caching library for Java

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

• json-server

  76 71,125 8.7 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

  13 6,084 9.6 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

  A library for broadcasting to Caffeine.tv

  

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

• Testify

  64 22,019 8.6 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.
