Discover how to build intelligent, cost-effective API sandboxes that overcome the limitations of traditional approaches in this 31-minute conference talk from Devoxx. Learn why conventional API sandboxes often become outdated, expensive to maintain, and fail to reflect real-world behavior, then explore how to create "smart" alternatives using Microcks, a CNCF project for mocking and testing API and event-driven architectures. Understand what distinguishes smart sandboxes from traditional ones and see how Microcks leverages existing API specifications and examples to generate realistic mocks and conformance tests using AI and other advanced techniques. Follow along with live demonstrations and practical examples showing integration with developers' local environments, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes clusters, plus learn how to connect these sandboxes to observability stacks for enhanced insights. Gain practical knowledge for designing, deploying, and scaling smart sandboxes that deliver always up-to-date, lightweight, on-demand environments while boosting developer experience and reducing maintenance overhead. Perfect for API and event developers, architects, DevOps engineers, and anyone focused on improving API quality, development speed, and team collaboration.
