@tom Cheers for posting this. I love that this is provided by Stripe themselves, which makes me trust it more without having to dig into the code and understand everything that’s going on 🙂 Question, how exactly does this make the test suite better from a _performance_ standpoint, above using VCR in Ruby, for instance? Thanks in advance for your response. ---
