Spoiler proxy is an open source tool designed for testing distributed environments such as microservice architecture or general application with external network dependencies. You can easily test a microservice architecture and find out problems in your application design.

Why?

A distributed application requires careful developer work. What happens when a minor microservice does not respond in time? The combination of network failure, bad software design, and developer error may cause a total system shutdown. And in the worst case, there is a risk of data loss.

Spoiler proxy simulates a bad network state in your safe testing environment. Spoiler proxy is a network failure simulator

Advantages of Spoiler Proxy:

  • Slow connection
  • Stuck connection (no reply from server, but still open – very dangerous)
  • No connection
• Can spoil all TCP connections (HTTP, HTTPS, Database connection, …).
• Can be easily controlled by web interface for interactive user testing.
• Can be controlled by REST API for automated testing (JMeter for example).
• Supports black box testing – just spy network and decide what you want to test.
• Easy to install – just one file to download and execute.
• Easy to set up your application for testing via proxychains.
