Microservices Observability

microbs is an open source, vendor-inclusive framework to demo, test, or learn about microservices observability.

Why microbs?

microbs creates immersive and realistic observability experiences:

•Demo - Create interactive observability stories with your apps and tech stack.
•Test - Test your app and tech stack observability under realistic circumstances.
•Learn - Hone your skills in microservices and observability.

How does it work?

With little configuration and one command, you can deploy a tech stack with your choice of:

•Sample apps (e.g. ecommerce, or make your own)
•Simulated issues (e.g. bugs, traffic spikes)
•Synthetics (e.g. realistic user traffic generation)
•Kubernetes platforms (e.g. GKE, minikube, kind)
•Observability stacks (e.g. Grafana, Elastic)

You can make your own apps or plugins for a more customized experience. More plugins are planned for the future.
