toxiproxy

Shopify/toxiproxy · ★ 12.4K

Toxiproxy is a TCP proxy for simulating network and system failure conditions (latency, downtime, bandwidth limits, packet loss, etc.) so you can test the resiliency of your application in CI, dev and test environments.

chaosmonkey

Netflix/chaosmonkey · ★ 17.2K

Chaos Monkey is a resiliency tool from Netflix that randomly terminates virtual machine instances and containers in your production environment, so engineers face failures often enough that they build services able to tolerate them.
