Diffy
Find potential bugs in your services with Diffy
Diffy is a traffic-shadowing and response-diffing tool that helps you validate a new version of a service against a trusted baseline before a full cutover. It acts as a proxy that fans out real production requests to three backends: the current “primary,” a “candidate” (new build), and a “shadow” baseline, then compares responses to detect behavioral differences. By using live traffic rather than synthetic tests, Diffy surfaces edge cases and data-dependent discrepancies that unit tests often miss. It provides mechanisms to normalize noise (timestamps, IDs, ordering) so diffs reflect meaningful regressions rather than incidental variance. Results are aggregated and visualized so teams can triage by endpoint, response field, or error type, turning release validation into a data-driven process. Built on Twitter’s Finagle stack, Diffy demonstrates a practical pattern for continuous verification and safer deployments in microservice environments.
