&lt;p&gt;We often get the question from people who are adopting Microcks on the deployment topology: &lt;strong&gt;Where to deploy it and which personas to target?&lt;/strong&gt; Microcks is modular and flexible, and it runs in many different ways. Having many options can make it unclear to novice users where to begin and how to get started.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Container Images</title><link>https://microcks.io/documentation/references/container-images/</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 May 2024 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/documentation/references/container-images/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="introduction"&gt;Introduction&lt;/h2&gt;

It leverages &lt;strong&gt;API standards&lt;/strong&gt; to provide a &lt;strong&gt;uniform and multi-protocol approach&lt;/strong&gt; for simulating complex distributed environments and validating service components in isolation.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Organizing Repository</title><link>https://microcks.io/documentation/guides/administration/organizing-repository/</link><pubDate>Sun, 22 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/documentation/guides/administration/organizing-repository/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="overview"&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This guide walks through the different techniques for organizing your API &amp;amp; Services repository content in Microcks. As you import more and more artifacts into Microcks, it can become difficult to find the API you&amp;rsquo;re looking for! Microcks proposes handling by putting &lt;code&gt;labels&lt;/code&gt; 🏷️ on &lt;strong&gt;APIs &amp;amp; Services&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Importer Jobs&lt;/strong&gt; of your repository. Labels are a very flexible way to map your own organizational structures with loose coupling.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Importing Services &amp; APIs</title><link>https://microcks.io/documentation/guides/usage/importing-content/</link><pubDate>Wed, 26 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/documentation/guides/usage/importing-content/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="overview"&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This guide will show you and discuss the different options for importing Services and APIs into Microcks. There are basically two different ways of putting new content into Microcks:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Managing Users</title><link>https://microcks.io/documentation/guides/administration/users/</link><pubDate>Mon, 18 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/documentation/guides/administration/users/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="overview"&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;

You may use this API from your automation tool to dynamically launch new tests, register new mocks or globally control your Microcks server configuration.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Getting started</title><link>https://microcks.io/documentation/tutorials/getting-started/</link><pubDate>Sun, 01 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/documentation/tutorials/getting-started/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="quickstart"&gt;Quickstart&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this tutorial, you will discover Microcks mocking features by re-using a simple REST API sample. For that: you will run Microcks on your local machine, then load a sample provided by the Microcks team, explore the web user interface and then interact with an API mock.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Project Goals</title><link>https://microcks.io/documentation/overview/project-goals/</link><pubDate>Wed, 11 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/documentation/overview/project-goals/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The goal of the Microcks project is to accelerate cloud‑native application adoption by addressing the challenges of complex, distributed, multi‑protocol systems:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>AsyncAPI Conventions</title><link>https://microcks.io/documentation/references/artifacts/asyncapi-conventions/</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 May 2024 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/documentation/references/artifacts/asyncapi-conventions/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="conventions"&gt;Conventions&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition of schema information, Microcks uses &lt;a href="https://v2.asyncapi.com/docs/reference/specification/v2.6.0"

&gt;AsyncAPI Message Example Objects&lt;/a&gt; to produce example messages for mocking purpose.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Setting custom dispatcher</title><link>https://microcks.io/documentation/guides/usage/custom-dispatchers/</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/documentation/guides/usage/custom-dispatchers/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="overview"&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Custom dispatchers let you control how Microcks selects the response example to return for a given request. Instead of relying only on inferred rules, you can explicitly tell Microcks which request elements to inspect (headers, URL parts, query params, body, scripts, proxies, etc.) and how to route to a named example.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Using Microcks CLI</title><link>https://microcks.io/documentation/guides/automation/cli/</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/documentation/guides/automation/cli/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="overview"&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This guide illustrates the usage of &lt;code&gt;microcks-cli&lt;/code&gt;, a command-line tool for interacting with Microcks APIs. It allows for launching tests or importing API artifacts with minimal dependencies. It is managed and released independently of the core Microcks server components within its &lt;a href="https://github.com/microcks/microcks-cli"

&lt;p&gt;In OpenAPI v3 specs, you can define callbacks – asynchronous, out-of-band requests that your service will send to some other service in response to certain events. These notifications will be “out-of-band”, that is, they will go through a connection other than the connection through which a visitor works, and they will be asynchronous, as they will be out of the regular request-response flow.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>gRPC Conventions</title><link>https://microcks.io/documentation/references/artifacts/grpc-conventions/</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 May 2024 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/documentation/references/artifacts/grpc-conventions/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;In order to use gRPC in Microcks, you will need two artifacts for each service definition as explained in &lt;a href="https://microcks.io/documentation/explanations/multi-artifacts"

&lt;p&gt;In OpenAPI v3 specs, you can define webhooks - even if closely related to or confused with the &lt;a href="../openapi-callbacks"



 


&gt;callbacks feature&lt;/a&gt; those are different beasts. Webhooks are still asynchronous, out-of-band requests that your service will send to some other service but the difference is that webhooks are not related to an initial API interaction.

&lt;p&gt;Even though Microcks promotes a contract-first approach for defining mocks, starting that way in real life may be difficult without a great maturity in API and Service contracts. You often need to play a bit with a fake API to really figure out their needs and how you should design an API contract.

&lt;p&gt;As a cloud-native application, we take great care of providing observability on what&amp;rsquo;s going on within a Microcks instance. We dissociate two kinds of metrics: the &lt;strong&gt;Functional metrics&lt;/strong&gt; related to all the domain objects you may find in Microcks and the &lt;strong&gt;Technical metrics&lt;/strong&gt; related to resource consumption and performance.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Microcks is Now a CNCF Incubating Project! 🎉</title><link>https://microcks.io/blog/microcks-incubating-cncf/</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/blog/microcks-incubating-cncf/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;We are beyond thrilled to announce a major milestone in our journey: &lt;strong&gt;Microcks has officially been accepted as an Incubating project&lt;/strong&gt; by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Microcks 1.14.0 release 🚀</title><link>https://microcks.io/blog/microcks-1.14.0-release/</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/blog/microcks-1.14.0-release/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;We are thrilled to announce the &lt;code&gt;1.14.0&lt;/code&gt; release of Microcks, the &lt;a href="https://landscape.cncf.io/?selected=microcks"

&gt;Apache Kafka&lt;/a&gt; being more and more commonly used as an event backbone in new organizations everyday. This is irrefutable.

To improve time-to-market, organizations need to be able to develop without waiting for the whole system to be up and running ; and they will need to validate that the components talking with Kafka will send or receive correct messages.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Microcks 1.1.0 release 🚀</title><link>https://microcks.io/blog/microcks-1.1.0-release/</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://microcks.io/blog/microcks-1.1.0-release/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;We are very thrilled to announce today Microcks 1.1.0 release — the Open source Kubernetes-native tool for API Mocking and Testing.
