xevrion/breakscale
Build a system, load it until it breaks, and watch why. A system design simulator for learning distributed systems.
About the project
A system design simulator for distributed systems: you build a topology on a canvas, raise the load, and watch real queueing behaviour emerge — latency growth, queue overflow, retry storms and outages. For people learning system design and distributed systems.
Useful for
- Load the Retry Storm example and raise traffic to watch goodput fall to zero
- Build a topology of a load balancer, cache and database and test it under load
- Replay the Netflix or Uber architecture from the built-in examples and study its bottlenecks

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
