|---|---|---|
| Data generation | Recipes can generate fake names, addresses, text, URLs, and other values using Faker-based functions. | It can generate referentially intact, domain-specific data including relational records, JSON, PDFs, DOCX files, and emails. |
| Validation | Strict mode validates a recipe before generation, and validate-only mode checks a recipe without generating data. | An optional Validation Agent reviews generated output and prompts refinements until it matches the request. |
Snowfakery suits developers and data teams who need generated relational test data or file and database outputs, including Salesforce users working through CumulusCI. Users should be comfortable reviewing recipes and considering the access they grant them.
Fabricate suits teams creating synthetic data for development, testing, AI training, or demos. It may also suit users needing generated mock APIs, API-callable workflows, or self-hosted Enterprise deployment.
