Revolutionizing API Design: The Power of Mock-Based Prototyping
summary
Claims that building runnable mocks first shortens feedback loops and cuts weeks off delivery; demonstrates creating request/response stubs in WireMock Cloud, auto-generating an OpenAPI spec and a live developer portal, and using the sandbox URL as a real test environment. Teams run client code and CI tests against the mock, iterate the API design early, and then generate docs and code snippets from the same artifacts, with customers reporting multi-week savings. mock-based prototyping WireMock Cloud auto-generated developer portal
