1. A method comprising:
monitoring application programming interface (API) traffic for a service API associated with a service coupled to a service layer and a data layer of a database system, the monitoring comprising monitoring API calls received at and made by the service API within via a network mesh implemented by the data layer of the database system;
storing a representation of the API traffic monitored via the data layer in the database system, the representation including at least an API call identifier and metadata for each monitored API call associated with the service;
constructing, using the service layer, one or more API models based, at least in part, on the representation of the API traffic, the one or more API models being configured to represent a plurality of API interactions monitored for the service; and
constructing one or more API objects based, at least in part, on the API models, the one or more API objects being one or more components of the service API,
wherein the API object is a mock service object configured to simulate the operation of a service, and wherein the service is a containerized service.
