chaos-mesh VS zipkin

Ive been messing around with chaos mesh recently (https://chaos-mesh.org/) and im wondering: is there any way i can define custom behaviour in one of my experiments? Specifically, I want to deploy a Pod with a certain image using an experiment.

Litmus, Gremlin, Chaos Mesh, and Chaos Monkey are all popular open-source tools used for chaos engineering. As we will be using AWS cloud infrastructure, we will also explore AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS). While they share the same goals of testing and improving the resilience of a system, there are some differences between them. Here are some comparisons:

Implement Chaos Mesh and Litmus chaos engineering framework to understand the behavior and stability of application in real-world use cases.

Here is our recent experience with Chaos Mesh for performing basic chaos engineering experiments on an application in Kubernetes.

In March 2018, an article titled Service Mesh is the broad trend, what about Database Mesh?, was pubslished on InfoQ China and went viral in the technical community. In this article, Zhang Liang, the founder of Apache ShardingSphere, described Database Mesh concept along with the idea of Service Mesh. Four years later, the Database Mesh concept has been integrated by several companies together with their own tools and ecosystems. Today, in addition to Service Mesh, a variety of “X Mesh” concepts such as ChaosMesh, EventMesh, IOMesh have emerged. Following four years of development, Database Mesh has also started a new chapter: Database Mesh 2.0.

🐒 Chaos Mesh will turn 2 on 2021.12.31! We're grateful for every contribution that helped this project grow, and we’d like to hear your Chaos Mesh story!

So i came across this recently, haven't used it myself but it seems to fit your requirements: https://github.com/chaos-mesh/chaos-mesh

When choosing distributed tracing tools, considerations include your technology stack, business requirements, and monitoring complexity. Zipkin, SkyWalking, and OpenTelemetry are popular distributed tracing solutions, each with its unique features.

From the perspective of the realization of GraphQL infrastructure, the interesting direction is "Finding". How to find the problem? How to find the bottleneck of the system? Distributed Tracing System (DTS) will help answer this question. Distributed tracing is a method of observing requests as they propagate through distributed environments. In our scenario, we have dozens of subgraphs, gateway, and transport layer through which the request goes. We have several tools that can be used to detect the whole lifecycle of the request through the system, e.g. Jaeger, Zipkin or solutions that provided DTS as a part of the solution NewRelic.

Zipkin is a distributed tracing system used for tracking and analyzing how requests move through complex systems, especially in setups with many interconnected services, known as microservices.

Distributed Tracing: Middleware for distributed tracing like Jaeger and Zipkin helps monitor and trace requests as they flow through multiple microservices, aiding in debugging, performance optimization, and understanding the system's behavior.

For microservice tracing, you might want to look at Zipkin [0], or OpenTelemetry [1]

I’ve not used a self-hosted solution before, but here’s one I found. https://zipkin.io/

> IMO the reason these vendors can and do charge so much is not because telemetry software is hard.

I always saw it as "they are charging for their polished UI/experience"

The UI of https://zipkin.io/ versus DataDog is kind of... not really in the same ballpark?

There are the zipkin https://zipkin.io/ and jaeger https://www.jaegertracing.io/ packages/components you can use both have quickstarts if you consider that to be a beginner's guide.

Zipkin, which was developed by Twitter, is an open source tool for distributed tracing that can also be used to troubleshoot latency issues in your application. While Zipkin is Java-based, py_zipkin is an implementation for Python.
