How can I mock or simulate gRPC APIs?
I am doing a lot of manual exploratory testing of microservices after a feature story has been delivered. To do that, I need to simulate different responses from a gRPC API. So I would like to start a docker image with my microservice, and point it at a gRPC API that I can control and simulate different types of responses to test different sad-path scenarios.
How can I create mocks of gRPC APIs?

You can use an API simulation/mocking tool. Currently the only tool on that list that supports gRPC is Traffic Parrot.
Here is a video demo of how you can use the tool to record and replay gRPC messages.
We have recently added a tutorial on how to mock gRPC responses over the wire given a proto file.
You can also find information on how to record and replay over the wire in the documentation.
