  • speedbump

    TCP proxy for simulating variable, yet predictable network latency :globe_with_meridians::hourglass_flowing_sand:

  • toxiproxy

    :alarm_clock: :fire: A TCP proxy to simulate network and system conditions for chaos and resiliency testing

  • Checkout also shopify's awesome tool called toxiproxy: https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy

    It turns out to be also a very good way to test a networking library by implementing it. Since your stack needs to be able to basically handle most adverse events properly.

    The idea behind 'chaos engineering' is cool.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • libgit2

    A cross-platform, linkable library implementation of Git that you can use in your application.

  • This is delightful and I can't wait to try it out. Right now, the libgit2 project (https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2) has a custom HTTP git server wrapper that will throttle the responses down to a very slow rate. It's fun watching a `git clone` running over 2400 baud modem speeds, but it's actually been incredibly helpful for testing timeouts, odd buffering problems, and other things that crop up in weird network environments.

    I'd love to jettison our hacky custom code and use something off-the-shelf instead.
