Chaos Inject Random Failures in Python
Simulate random failures in a Python function to test error handling and resilience, using random thresholds and controllable success rates.
import random
def unreliable_function(success_rate: float = 0.7) -> str:
"""Simulate a function that sometimes fails."""
if random.random() > success_rate:
raise ConnectionError("Simulated network failure")
return "Operation completed successfully"

random.seed(42)…How to mock Prometheus alert rule thresholds in Python
Simulate a Prometheus alert rule with a configurable threshold and duration window, firing only when the metric exceeds the threshold long enough.

Simulates index bloat checks for database tables using random ratio thresholds and reports alerts per index.
import random
import time
class IndexBloatMonitor:
def __init__(self, thresholds=(0.5, 0.8, 0.9)):
self.thresholds = thresholds
