- Data-driven testing. Run the same test with multiple input values.
- Docker integration. Run tests against throwaway containers for isolation.
- Git-based collaboration. Keep test files in version control and share across teams.
- Offline-first. All data stored locally; no account or cloud required.
- HTTP stubs. Mock external services within tests.
WunderGraph features
- Connect any service. Expose gRPC, Kafka, NATS or Redis services through a unified GraphQL router without extra infrastructure.
- Real-time streams. Router handles subscriptions, aggregating events from Kafka, NATS or Redis and pushes updates to clients.
- MCP Gateway. One gateway turns approved operations into agent-ready tools with built-in authentication, eliminating separate MCP servers.
- Graph governance hub. Shared canvas for schema design, review, ownership, proposals and safe deployments with audit logs and RBAC.
- Cache warming. Pre-warm query planning cache to eliminate long planning delays for high-load scenarios.
