Hoverfly Cloud is a lightweight, hosted API simulation platform that provides service virtualization to simulate APIs and their downstream dependencies, enabling parallel development and early functional testing without waiting for live systems. It offers cost-efficient, scalable performance with low-latency mocks capable of handling up to 2,000 API requests per second, reducing the need for hardware, licenses, and maintenance. The platform supports performance testing, functional testing, and development by enabling reliable simulations, failure injections, and continuous testing with fast feedback loops, while keeping live APIs unaffected.
