Staging never matches production

You deploy with confidence, but production traffic always finds the edge cases your tests missed.

Bugs slip through

Unit tests pass. Integration tests pass. But real user traffic hits code paths you never anticipated.

Slow feedback loops

You find out about regressions from angry users instead of your CI pipeline. Rollbacks are stressful and costly.

Test data doesn't reflect reality

Synthetic test data can't capture the chaos of production: malformed inputs, edge cases, and unexpected combinations.

Replay production traffic, safely

ShadowStage captures real traffic and replays it against your staging environment to catch regressions before deploy.

1
📡

Capture

eBPF-powered agents capture HTTP/HTTPS traffic from production with zero code changes or performance impact.

2
🗄️

Store

Traffic is sanitized, compressed, and stored in S3 or MinIO. Sensitive data is automatically redacted.

3
▶️

Replay

Replay captured traffic against staging. Get instant diff reports showing exactly what changed.

Built on eBPF

ShadowStage uses dual capture backends that coordinate via shared eBPF maps. Plain HTTP goes through syscall tracepoints, HTTPS through TLS uprobes. No duplicates, no encrypted garbage.

Built for production

Everything you need to replay traffic safely and find regressions fast.

Zero Instrumentation

eBPF-powered capture requires no code changes, no sidecars, no performance overhead. Just deploy the agent.

Credential Stripping

Auth headers and sensitive data are automatically stripped before replay to prevent credential leaks.

Smart Diff Reports

Compare responses between production and staging. Filter noise from timestamps and IDs automatically.

Protocol Support

HTTP, HTTPS, gRPC, WebSocket, and more. Decrypt TLS traffic with automatic key extraction.

CI/CD Integration

Run replays in your pipeline. Block deploys that introduce regressions. Integrate with GitHub Actions.

Performance Comparison

Track latency differences between production and staging. Catch performance regressions early.

Deploy in minutes,
not days

ShadowStage agents run as a DaemonSet in your Kubernetes cluster. No code changes, no restarts, no downtime.

  • Single binary deployment
  • Kubernetes-native with Helm charts
  • Auto-discovery of services
  • Sub-1% CPU overhead
