microbs - microservices observability

microbs creates immersive and realistic observability experiences:

• Demo - Create interactive observability stories for your applications and infrastructure.
• Test - Test your application and infrastructure observability under realistic circumstances.
• Learn - Hone your skills in microservices and observability.

With little configuration and one command, you can deploy a tech stack with your choice of:

• Sample apps (e.g. ecommerce, or make your own)
• Simulated issues (e.g. bugs, traffic spikes, or make your own)
• Synthetics (e.g. realistic user traffic generation)
• Kubernetes platforms (e.g. GKE, minikube, kind)
• Observability solutions (e.g. Grafana Cloud, Elastic Cloud)

You can develop your own apps or plugins for a more customized experience in microbs. More plugins are planned for the future.

microbs is a vendor-inclusive project of the open source community. microbs is not officially supported by any vendors named in the project, though people who work for them may contribute to the project.
