About

Speedscale helps engineers validate their code with real, sanitized traffic. We simulate realistic production conditions in Kubernetes so you no longer need to manually script or use large and complex environments. Catch performance defects before they reach production and reduce weeks-long test cycles down to a few days.

Speedscale validates AI-generated code against real production traffic to catch regressions before merge, using observability data, deterministic replay, and AI-assisted debugging. It focuses on validating AI changes in Kubernetes and CI pipelines by replaying live production context.

Capture full production traffic, move it across environments and CI pipelines, and replay exact payloads in deterministic sandboxes. Expose traffic context to AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) so they debug with real data. Compare before/after behavior on replayed traffic to prove fixes before merge. Record once (from Kubernetes, ECS, desktop, or agent surfaces) and replay automatically against every branch/change, providing behavioral diffs and evidence for PRs.

Who it’s for: AI/ML-enabled software development teams evaluating AI-generated code, platform engineering groups, and QA teams requiring production-accurate validation of changes before merge.

Features

deep capture and inspection of full payloads and metadata
data portability across CI, sandboxes, and teams
direct AI integration with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex
deterministic reproduction of production issues
before/after behavioral diffs for PR-ready evidence
automatic replay of production traffic against every change
