PyForge: Standard Library-only Python tools with zero dependencies

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I’m the creator of PyForge (https://py-forge.com), and I’m super excited to share it with you today!

Why PyForge? As developers, we’ve all been there: you need a simple backend utility, mock server, or benchmarking tool, but to get it running you have to pull in a massive dependency tree, heavy Docker containers, or risk third-party supply-chain vulnerabilities.

I built PyForge to change that.

What’s inside? A vault of high-performance, standalone Python micro-utilities engineered strictly with the Python Standard Library — zero external dependencies, minimal memory footprint, and instant execution.

A few highlights from the vault:

MockForge: Zero-config API mocking with dynamic state.
ChaosProxy: Resilience & latency-fault injection for microservices.
ApiBench: High-throughput benchmarking with io_uring support, HDR histograms, and agentic tool-calling validation.

Instead of charging monthly SaaS subscriptions, PyForge is available via a $99 Lifetime All-Access Pass for developers who want permanent ownership of their tooling.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or questions! What micro-utilities would you like to see added next?

Thank you for the support! 🚀
