Event Streams API — free mock REST API for testing

Practice event-stream consumers, Last-Event-ID resume behavior, duplicates and out-of-order detection.

The Event Streams API serves Server-Sent Events with replay cursors, heartbeats and guaranteed ordering. Streaming is where test suites usually stop, because a long-lived response is awkward to assert on — this one is built to make that assertable, with a Last-Event-ID cursor you can reconnect from.

What you can practise here

• Open the stream, drop the connection, and reconnect with Last-Event-ID to confirm no event was lost.
• Assert that events arrive in order under a burst rather than only at rest.
• Watch the heartbeat and set your idle timeout above it, not below.
• Publish an event and check how quickly it appears to a connected consumer.
