Stop Getting Charged for Test Emails! #speedscale #aws #ses

Tired of local development using AWS SES leading to spam, cloud costs, and unnecessary API calls? When testing your app, you shouldn't have to connect to a live cloud environment just to send a test email. Learn how to set up your own local ProxyMock server to intercept and record real SES calls, so you can replay them instantly and accurately without ever leaving your desktop.

MOCK AWS SES Locally! Stop Sending Test Emails & Cut Cloud Costs

In this quick guide, Speedscale's Matt LeRay shows you how to free your local development environment from direct AWS SES dependencies. When your application sends an email during local testing, it usually triggers a live AWS transaction, leading to slow tests, unnecessary cloud costs, and sometimes even spam filter issues.

Cascading Failures Aren't Inevitable: Lessons from the AWS DNS Outage

AWS outages grab headlines because they affect millions, but the root cause often comes down to something invisible: DNS failures and cascading service dependencies. The complexity of modern cloud systems, combined with the advanced technology powering platforms like AWS, makes these outages particularly challenging to diagnose and resolve.

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.

The Load Testing Start Guide! #speedscale #stresstest #loadtesting #mocking #startup

Are you ready to get serious about load and stress testing, but don't know where to start? This guide highlights the trap most serious engineers fall into: trying to build a custom DIY testing environment. The traditional path means signing your team up for maintaining load drivers, test case frameworks, ephemeral environments, and endless custom mocks a massive drain on time and resources. There's a better, cheaper, and faster solution: Traffic Replay.

Stop Debugging Blindly! How Traffic Capture Can Help Your Code #speedscale #trafficcapture #ai

Is AI "slop" or new code pushing tons of bugs into production? You can't test everything forever. Learn how traffic capture is the most efficient way to understand how your code is actually running in the real world. By grabbing data from sidecars, packet captures, or logs, you get the context you need to prevent bugs and improve performance.
