Run WireMock Cloud on Kubernetes

Did you know that you can run WireMock Cloud on Kubernetes? WireMock on Kubernetes offers the full API virtualization capabilities of the hosted WireMock Cloud - except it's running on your self-managed Kubernetes cluster, with no external connectivity required. For teams working in air-gapped environments, or anywhere connectivity is limited, this means you can deliver the same WireMock experience without depending on an externally hosted service.

Why WireMock on Kubernetes?

Some development and testing teams can’t depend on an always-on external service- because they are in highly-regulated industries such as financial services, or for other reasons. With our Kubernetes edition, you have full control over where WireMock Cloud is running, without sacrificing ease of use or functionality.

Benefits include:

🏃 Runs anywhere you run K8s—on-prem, private cloud, or restricted networks.

🔌 No  connectivity concerns—perfect for air-gapped or security-sensitive environments.

🤝 Feature parity: Use the same feature set as our hosted version

🎱 Kubernetes best practices baked in: simple to deploy, scale, and operate.

Engineered for Self-Management

Running self-managed software shouldn’t feel like maintaining a second-class fork. We spent a long time designing how we package and deliver WireMock Cloud for Kubernetes to make sure you get the full WireMock experience without the operational headaches. With WireMock for Kubernetes, you get:

• Kubernetes-native deployment – Helm charts, automated scaling, and monitoring baked in.

• Enterprise-grade performance – Built to handle real-world traffic and workloads.

• No externally hosted components – The entire product runs within your Kubernetes environment.

• Flexible database options – Use WireMock’s built-in Postgres or connect to your own provisioned database.

• Automated domain provisioning – With correctly configured ingress and wildcard domain name matching, mock APIs can be automatically assigned domain names.

• OpenID Connect integration – Seamlessly authenticate users with your existing OpenID Connect identity provider.

• Scalability and performance— Scale on your terms, from  handful of test cases to simulating high-traffic production workloads.
  

• Seamless upgrades – Stay up to date without painful migrations.

WireMock has always been about making API development faster, easier, and more reliable. Whether you’re testing integrations, simulating third-party APIs, or stabilizing flaky test environments, WireMock Cloud in Kubernetes gives you the same developer-friendly, battle-tested API virtualization platform—with complete control over where and how it runs.
