LatencySimulator

Latency simulator is a tool that allows you to simulate latency in a distributed environment. It combines the capabilities of elixir to analyze the behavior of an application in different latency scenarios.

Installation

At first, you need to download and compile the dependencies:

mix deps.get
mix deps.compile

Basic Usage

From elixir interactive shell

iex -S mix

From dockerfile

docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 bancolombia/latency-simulator:latest

Now, this tool expose an endpoint that allows you to simulate latency, with time in milliseconds as a parameter.

curl http://localhost:8080/wait/100 # It'll wait 100 milliseconds
curl http://localhost:8080/wait/3000 # It'll wait 3 seconds
