resourceater

Resourceater is a Java based web service which consumes your resources on demand. It can be useful to simulate high resource needs. It can consume the following resources:

• Heap by creating byte arrays (this also simulates memory leaks)
• Off-Heap by allocating direct byte buffers
• CPU by spinning up threads which can make the cores busy
• Disk by creating big files
• Threads by creating simple daemon threads which are doing nothing
• Servlet Container Threads by calling itself and blocking the Container's (Tomcat) thread
• Classes by generating new classes and loading them on-the-fly
• Network by downloading large files over HTTP
• Sockets by creating server sockets

Monitoring

The project is using micrometer and it also opens JMX on port 8686; they give you a lot of information about what is going on under the hood, e.g.:

• Metrics endpoint: /actuator/metrics

• Heap usage: /actuator/metrics/jvm.memory.used?tag=area:heap

• Direct byte buffers (Off Heap): /actuator/metrics/jvm.buffer.memory.used?tag=id:direct

• CPU usage: /actuator/metrics/process.cpu.usage

• Number of CPU cores: /actuator/metrics/system.cpu.count

• Daemon thread count: /actuator/metrics/jvm.threads.daemon

• Loaded Classes: /actuator/metrics/jvm.classes.loaded

• Container (Tomcat) Threads: /actuator/metrics/tomcat.threads.current

Docker

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -p 8686:8686 -v logs:/app/logs jonatanivanov/resourceater:tag

Kubernetes

You need a cluster first, e.g.: kind create cluster

skaffold dev --port-forward

or

skaffold run --port-forward
