simon

Observability load testing and simulation, under construction.

Supported platforms: {linux, windows, darwin}-{amd64, arm64, riscv64}

Observability

• Logs
• Metrics
• Traces
• Profiling
• Health checks
  • Liveness
  • Readiness
  • Other probes

Deployment

• Kubernetes deployment
• Helm chart
