Mockingbird
Mockingbird is a mock streaming data generator.
It is FOSS & available as a library, CLI or UI.
You can self-host the UI, or use Tinybird's hosted one (opens in a new tab).
Destinations
Mockingbird can send to any HTTP endpoint using Destinations.
Current Destinations are:

Architecture
Mockingbird is written in TypeScript.
Faker.js (opens in a new tab) is used under the hood to provide many of the mock Data Types. Faker.js is extended with additional custom Data Types.
Mockingbird is a library, which can be used like any other package and installed from npm (opens in a new tab).
As well as the library, there are standalone CLI (opens in a new tab) and UI (opens in a new tab) applictions.
In the UI application, the data generation is performed inside a web worker (opens in a new tab) which prevents it from locking up your browser's main thread.
Data generation is separated from the logic that sends data to the final destination. This enables Mockingbird to support sending data to many different downstream systems, which are called 'Destinations'.
