# xevrion/breakscale

> 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

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 3 expected by the end of the day.
- The repository is 40 days old and already has 1,219 stars.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
