Why Frisbee ?

The effort being put in automating tests should not take over delivering value to users. Frisbee lowers the threshold of testing distributed systems by making it possible to:

🎁 Setup initial dependency stack – easily!

🏭 Test against actual, close to production software - no mocks!

⏳ Replay complex workloads written in an intuitive language!

🏗️ Combine Chaos Engineering with large-scale performance testing!

🕹️ Assert actual program behavior and side effects

Usage

👉 To begin with Frisbee, check the QuickStart.

👉 To understand the basic features, check the Walkthrough.

Testing Patterns

Among others, you will find scenarios and testing patterns for:

👉 Databases

👉 Federated Learning

👉 Filesystems

👉 HPC

👉 Networking

TL;DR

1. Make sure that kubectl and Helm are installed on your system.

2. Update Helm repo.

>> helm repo add frisbee https://carv-ics-forth.github.io/frisbee/charts

1. Install Helm Packages.

# Install the platform
>> helm upgrade --install --wait my-frisbee frisbee/platform
# Install the package for monitoring YCSB output
>> helm upgrade --install --wait my-ycsb frisbee/ycsb
# Install TiKV store
>> helm upgrade --install --wait my-tikv frisbee/tikv

1. Create/Destroy the scenario.

# Create
>> curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CARV-ICS-FORTH/frisbee/main/charts/tikv/examples/scenario.baseline.yml | kubectl -f - apply

# Destroy
>> curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CARV-ICS-FORTH/frisbee/main/charts/tikv/examples/scenario.baseline.yml | kubectl -f - delete --cascade=foreground

If everything went smoothly, you should see a similar Grafana Dashboard .

Through these dashboards humans and controllers can examine to check things like completion, health, and SLA compliance.
