patrickfust/network-simulator repository overview

⁠Network Simulator

This application is designed to simulate various network conditions by acting as a proxy between clients and target services. It allows users to configure scenarios such as latency, bandwidth limitations, HTTP status codes, and responses. The application provides a user-friendly interface for configuring these scenarios.

It is useful for testing how applications behave under different network conditions, helping developers and testers to ensure robustness and reliability.

The idea is, that you only have to change the target URL of your application to point to this network simulator, and then configure the desired network conditions through the provided UI.
