Overview
What is microbs?
microbs is an open source, vendor-inclusive framework to demo, test, or learn about microservices observability.
With little configuration and one command, you can deploy a tech stack with your choice of:
- Sample apps (e.g. ecommerce, templates)
- 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.
Why microbs?
microbs creates immersive experiences that are ideal for several use cases:
- Demo - Create interactive stories with your tech stacks.
- Test - Test your application observability under realistic circumstances.
- Learn - Hone your familiarity of microservices and observability.
