    Simulating shitty network connections so you can build better systems.

  • While yours is more fully featured, I submit that https://github.com/tylertreat/comcast had the better name.

  • toxiproxy

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

  • 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.

  • noxious

    A Rust port of Toxiproxy server

  • toxiproxy-frontend

    A frontend to Shopify's Toxiproxy service.

  • This is one of my favorite tools out there. So simple but yet so powerful.

    You get the real deal when you pair it with other tools to analyze and monitor traffic.

    Worth the note, I sometimes use this front end in case I want to quickly adjust stuff https://github.com/buckle/toxiproxy-frontend

  • awesome-chaos-engineering

    A curated list of Chaos Engineering resources.

  • What a useful tool for resilience engineering.

    https://github.com/dastergon/awesome-chaos-engineering#notab... does list toxiproxy.

    Any general pointers for handling network connectivity issues (from any OSI layer) in client and server apps?

    Many apps lack 'pending in outbox' functionality that we expect from e.g. email clients.

    Who could develop a set of reference toxiproxy 'test case mutators' (?) for simulating typical #DisasterRelief connectivity issues?

  • partisan

    High-performance, high-scalability distributed computing for the BEAM.

  • You might be interested in Partisan's fault injector. I don't know if @cmeiklejohn is still working on it, but it's really cool nonetheless.

  • vaurien

    TCP hazard proxy

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
