Competitive difference

[baywet]

Before we commit actual engineering resources to this new project, I think it'd be a good thing to run a competitive analysis with these existing solutions:

• https://stoplight.io/open-source/prism
• https://saucelabs.com/platform/api-testing (the api mock part)
• ...

The goal would be to understand:

• what we want to achieve with this new project
• how much existing solutions cover
• is it worth building our own thing, or should we add to what's existing

Thanks for sharing these tools, @baywet.

While the mocking part is somewhat similar, in the developer proxy we're looking at other use-cases as well, which are specific to Graph, like detecting SDK usage and offering targeted migration guidance, detecting the use of $select statement, guidance around paid APIs, etc. The developer proxy will differentiate further when we start looking into implementing behaviors based on Graph service limits so that the responses you get from the proxy are more in line with what you could expect when communicating with the Graph API.

@sebastienlevert @gavinbarron anything else you'd add?

Closing this issue for now, and we can revisit it in the future if necessary

For information I did test sauce labs solution, I couldn't get it to work and the team wasn't much help either.
Could be worth trying the other one before we invest a lot of resources in a new product.
