WhoDB Mock Data Generation

Every developer knows the struggle - you set up your project, everything builds fine, and then it breaks because your database is empty.

You spend the next hour creating users, products, and orders just to get things running. It works, but it’s messy, time-consuming, and far from realistic. And you just changed your schema for the 5th time so that fake data? Useless.

The truth is, an empty database doesn’t reflect how your app behaves in the real world. It hides issues with relationships, pagination, and data integrity- problems that tend to often show up only after your product is live. Do you hear that in the distance? It's your customers raging at the performance. Not a good time to be you.

The Idea That Changed Everything

Our team kept running into this same issue. We have tools to test, deploy, and lint code but no simple way to generate real data for development and testing purposes.

So we built one.

WhoDB now includes mock data generation, a one-click way to seed your local database with realistic, schema-based data.

How It Works

1. Open your database in WhoDB.
2. Click “Generate Mock Data.”
3. Choose the tables and number of rows you want.

WhoDB automatically analyzes your schema, understands relationships, and fills each column with realistic data like names, emails, URLs, timestamps, and more.
No scripts, no setup, just instant, production-like data.

With realistic data in place, teams can test features, recreate issues, and check workflows without waiting for production access or writing scripts. Developers work faster, QA gets dependable test data, and support teams can debug issues with confidence using data that feels real.

Now do you hear that? That’s your support team breathing a sigh of relief.

Why It Matters

Mock data generation saves hours of setup time and lets you test real-world cases from day one. It makes local development faster, more reliable, and a lot less frustrating.

We’re building this because developers deserve tools that make their work easier, not harder.
