torchio

Break your containers on purpose. torchio is a small server, a single static binary written in Rust, that burns CPU, holds memory, fills disk, answers slowly or returns any HTTP status, all on demand over HTTP. Use it to see how your setup behaves under pressure: autoscaling, resource limits, OOM kills, probes, timeouts and retries.

Torchio is the Italian word for the press that squeezes wine and oil, as in mettere sotto torchio: to put under pressure. Put your containers under the press. It began in 2019 as high-cpu-node, when it could only burn CPU.

torchio watch: gradient bars and history of busy workers, held memory, process RSS and held disk, while keys start a memory test, a CPU burn and a leak

This is the documentation of torchio 4.6.2. The changes of each release are in the changelog.
