Has anyone used Faker to generate data for their tap? I want to implement a "mock_mode" that generates data for me instead of reaching out to the source system, which is slow due to the need for remote access. Would mapping each schema to a Faker type work? Has this been done before?

Hi @visch I guess this is for tap development time rather than runtime. We added faker support to the mapper stage to load test data / obfuscate. https://github.com/meltano/sdk/issues/1009 We also wrote an article on loading test data (meant to post this too). https://www.matatika.com/your-guide-to-loading-quality-test-data/
