4 months ago There is another of achieving this outcome by potentially injecting consecutive waves of latency. I built something recently to do this if you have any interest in chatting. Looks like this is no longer an active project but ping me at aaron@sce.dev if you're interested. The plan is to open source it later this year but id also like to learn more about what lyft is doing with this project.
Description When we perform a Squeeze experiment on service, we route additional traffic to a particular host in that service. This helps in determining the maximum number of concurrent requests that can be served by that host in a cluster. After performing the squeeze experiment, one can set the scaling threshold of service as well as the circuit breaking threshold.
To route additional traffic to a host, load balancing needs to be adjusted in a way that the host under experiment gets more weight. This can be achieved with Envoy Proxy's load balancing policies
