pikopod

Active·★ 82·Apache-2.0·Updated 2026-10-19

pikopod builds a sandbox from your provider's spec, makes it fail on purpose, and replays the exact failure production hit, on your laptop, as a test you keep. It is a single Go binary that runs locally, requires no accounts, no telemetry, and no cloud, focusing on deterministic API failure rehearsal, observation, and reproduction.
