Sample: api-degradation-scenarios - Simulate partial API failures

[waldekmastykarz]

Summary

Create a sample that simulates various API degradation scenarios (partial failures, intermittent errors).

Plugins to use

• GenericRandomErrorPlugin - random errors at configurable rate
• LatencyPlugin - intermittent slowdowns
• RateLimitingPlugin - simulate hitting rate limits

What to build

• Multiple degradation scenarios:
  • Intermittent 503 errors (30% of requests)
  • Periodic 429 rate limits
  • Slow responses (3-5s) mixed with fast ones
• Sample app with monitoring dashboard showing:
  • Success rate
  • Response times
  • Error types
• Demonstrate graceful degradation patterns

Why this is compelling

Build apps that gracefully degrade under stress. Prove your error handling and retry logic works before production.
