Test Azure Static Web Apps reliability with Gremlin Failure Flags. Inject latency and errors into API functions to validate site resilience.
Azure Static Web Apps inherits the reputation of static hosting, which is one of the most reliable things on the internet. The API functions attached to it do not share that property, and the combined deployment tends to get judged by the static half.
What this means practically is that the dynamic functionality on these sites is frequently the least scrutinized code in the stack. It was added to support one interactive feature, it's small, and it sits behind a site everyone considers safe. When it fails, the page still loads, which makes the problem harder to spot than an outright outage.
Add Failure Flags to your API functions and inject latency or errors into the data calls behind them. You'll find out whether a failure stays contained to one widget or leaves visitors on a page that appears fine but doesn't respond to anything they try.
A site that loads and does nothing is arguably worse than one that returns an honest error.
Dependencies: Failure Test
Simulate a failed dependency by dropping all network traffic to the dependency.
Dependencies: Latency Test
Recreate poor network conditions by delaying all network traffic to a dependency by 100ms.
Unreliable Networks - Dependencies
Simulate unreliable network conditions when communicating with dependencies by adding latency to API calls. Test whether your users are affected when dependency response times degrade.
* Failure Flags works wherever you can add the SDK to your application and run the Gremlin sidecar. Not every language and platform combination has been individually tested, and not all are officially supported. Check our compatibility documentation for what's verified, or get in touch if you don't see your runtime.
