# Microcks

> Microcks is an open source, cloud native tool for API mocking and testing (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, gRPC, GraphQL, SOAP), a CNCF incubating project.

Microcks is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) incubating project that leverages API standards to provide a uniform, multi-protocol approach to mocking and testing APIs across your API and microservices lifecycle.

**Key concepts:**
- **API mocking**: Import OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, gRPC, GraphQL, SOAP/WSDL, Postman or Swagger artifacts and get live mocks with realistic examples in seconds.
- **Contract testing**: Run conformance tests of your implementations against the API contracts, from the UI, the CLI, CI/CD pipelines or Testcontainers.
- **Multi-protocol**: REST, SOAP, GraphQL, gRPC and event-driven APIs (Kafka, MQTT, AMQP, WebSocket and more).
- **Cloud native**: Deploy with Docker Compose, Helm or the Kubernetes Operator; extend with the CLI and client libraries.
