       Show HN: Tusk Drift - Turn production traffic into API tests
        
       Hi HN! In the past few months my team and I have been working on
       Tusk Drift, a system that records real API traffic from your
       service, then replays those requests as deterministic tests.
       Outbound I/O (databases, HTTP calls, etc.) gets automatically
       mocked using the recorded data.  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.  Source: https://github.com/Use-Tusk/tusk-drift-

       answer questions!
