Dependency latency

What it does

This Scenario adds 100ms delay to all network traffic to simulate slow dependency responses.

‍

Why it's recommended

Dependencies can be slow to respond to requests, no matter where they're located. However, your services still needs to be responsive, or your customers will think your application is slow. This Scenario tests how your service behaves when its dependencies are slow to respond.

• Verify retry logic works without overloading dependencies.
• Identify bottlenecks in upstream or downstream services.
• Assess end-user impact of increased dependency latency.
• Ensure your application can still meet its SLA despite slow dependencies.
