How Shadow Testing Works

Capture and replay real production traffic patterns

1

Capture Traffic

Listen to your network interface to capture production traffic with zero impact

2

Process & Modify

Filter and adapt requests for your test environment using middleware

3

Compare & Analyze

Compare responses between versions and analyze behavioral differences

Why Choose Shadow Testing?

Test with confidence using real production behavior

Zero Production Impact

Safely test services with duplicated traffic and isolated test databases

Real User Behavior

Test with actual production traffic patterns impossible to recreate synthetically

Deep Service Testing

Compare responses between versions to catch logic errors, not just exceptions

No Infrastructure Changes

Listen to network traffic directly without modifying your production setup
