CI/CD pipelines

Pipelines that never depend on live APIs

Flaky CI caused by third-party API downtime is a solved problem. Mockra gives your pipeline an ephemeral mock namespace per PR — spun up on open, torn down on merge, no infrastructure to manage.

The problem

✕CI tests fail because a third-party API is down or rate-limiting
✕Integration tests hit real APIs and cost money on every pipeline run
✕Shared staging environments cause test interference between PRs
✕Tearing down test environments is manual and often skipped
✕No isolation between branches — one PR's tests pollute another's

With Mockra

✓Mock endpoints are always available — zero flakiness from upstream APIs
✓Flat request cost regardless of how many pipeline runs you trigger
✓Ephemeral namespace per PR — complete isolation between branches
✓Namespace destroyed automatically on merge, no cleanup scripts needed
✓API key auth for pipelines — no hardcoded credentials in CI config

Ephemeral mocks in your pipeline

.github/workflows/test.yml

name: Integration tests

on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Create ephemeral mock namespace
        id: mock
        run: |
          RESPONSE=$(curl -sX POST https://api.mockra.io/namespaces \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer ${{ secrets.MOCKRA_API_KEY }}" \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json")
          echo "namespace=$(echo $RESPONSE | jq -r '.slug')" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
          echo "mock_url=$(echo $RESPONSE | jq -r '.mock_url_base')" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

      - name: Run integration tests
        env:
          API_BASE_URL: ${{ steps.mock.outputs.mock_url }}
        run: pnpm test:integration

      - name: Destroy mock namespace
        if: always()
        run: |
          curl -sX DELETE \
            https://api.mockra.io/namespaces/${{ steps.mock.outputs.namespace }} \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer ${{ secrets.MOCKRA_API_KEY }}"

Each PR gets its own isolated namespace. Cleanup is automatic even if the job fails.
