Toxiproxy

Toxiproxy is a handy tool for developers who want to make sure their applications run smoothly, no matter the network conditions. When you're building an app that depends on the Internet, it’s super important to think about how your users might experience different network situations. This is where Toxiproxy comes in!

Why Use Toxiproxy?

This TCP proxy lets you simulate various network and system conditions so you can spot any loading issues before they become a headache for your users. Basically, it consists of a TCP proxy and a client that communicates with it over HTTP. To get going, just set up your app to test all its connections under different conditions using this tool.

Perfect for Testing and Development

Toxiproxy is specifically made for testing, continuous integration (CI), and development environments. That means if you find any potential issues while testing, you can fix them right away! It can even mimic crowded environments, like what happens at Shopify during busy shopping days like Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

A Tool Born from Real Needs

The creators of Toxiproxy built it because they saw the need for developers to ensure their systems are reliable. The goal is to make sure your app still works well even if some parts of it are slow or not available at all. As apps rely more on outside services, keeping an eye on these dependencies becomes crucial. Otherwise, they could turn into annoying points of failure!
