faulty-api

An API which simulates loaded responses to demonstrate load testing.

Getting Started

Some notes:

• A rate limit is initialized to a default of 10 concurrent requests.
• You may change this limit by making a POST to http://localhost:8080/limit with the following payload:

{"limit":10}

• When the rate limit is reached requests will be made to wait until others finish.
• Additionally, when the rate limit is exceeded faults will be injected into the system. The proportion of failed responses you can expect is based on the following formula:

PercFailedResponses = NumberRequestsOverLimit / Limit

Spec

• GET http://localhost:8080/data
  • A basic response will be returned. The response time will be random between 0ms-500ms.
• POST http://localhost:8080/limit
  • Change the limit for allowed concurrent requests. The default is 10.

Usage

Run from the /cmd/api directory:

go run *.go
