Part 2: Building a Production-Grade Traffic Capture, Transform and Replay System

When developers try to build realistic mocks and automated tests from production network traffic, the real challenge isn’t just in the capturing—it’s in the data manipulation. Raw traffic is a chaotic sea of patterns, dynamic tokens, environment-specific secrets, and tangled dependencies that seem impossible to untangle by hand. Over my two decades of building these sytems, I learned that solving this problem requires more than brute-force parsing or ad hoc scripts.
