Show HN: Tusk Drift – Turn production traffic into API tests
2026-01-15 @ 18:54:10Points: 29Comments: 1
Problem we're trying to solve: Writing API tests is tedious, and hand-written mocks drift from reality. We wanted tests that stay realistic because they come from real traffic.
versus mocking libraries: Tools like VCR/Nock intercept HTTP within your tests. Tusk Drift records full request/response traces externally (HTTP, DB, Redis, etc.) and replays them against your running service, no test code or fixtures to write/maintain.
How it works:
1. Add a lightweight SDK (we currently support Python and Node.js)
2. Record traffic in any environment.
3. Run `tusk run`, the CLI sandboxes your service and serves mocks via Unix socket
We run this in CI on every PR. Also been using it as a test harness for AI coding agents, they can make changes, run `tusk run`, and get immediate feedback without needing live dependencies.

I made this as an fun intro to help people who have zero IBM mainframe experience and no access to a modern IBM mainframe (at least, not access to do whatever you want with it). I appreciate tips, suggestions and anything that might improve the experience for someone who has no idea of how those machines operate(d).
