Summary

Create a sample that simulates slow/failing network conditions for resilience testing.

Plugins to use

• LatencyPlugin - adds artificial delays to responses
• GenericRandomErrorPlugin - returns random errors

What to build

• Configure realistic network latency (200ms - 10s range)
• Random 5xx errors, timeouts
• Sample app showing proper UI handling:
  • Loading spinners
  • Timeout handling
  • Retry logic
  • Error messages

Configuration example

{
  "latencyPlugin": {
    "minMs": 200,
    "maxMs": 10000
  }
}

Combined with random errors:

{
  "genericRandomErrorPlugin": {
    "rate": 30,
    "errors": [
      { "statusCode": 500 },
      { "statusCode": 503 },
      { "statusCode": 504 }
    ]
  }
}

Why this is compelling

Test real-world network conditions locally. Build apps that work on slow connections and handle failures gracefully.
