#2Hey everyone, founder of ShadowTraffic here. I built this product in 90 days bootstrapped on my own dollar, which was a wild experience all on its own. Happy to answer any questions :)

#3Look forward to trying this!

#4This looks really interesting! Generating large amounts of plausible fake data by modeling the reality is still a big issue both for generating custom demos and for maximum load testing of streaming applications. Will definitely give ShadowTraffic a try.

Thanks! I had initially built ShadowTraffic to help with simple demos, but I'm realizing over time that to run a good load test, you need the same kind of statistically accurate data.

#6the declarative approach makes for a lean and exacting experience versus other tooling for load testing. Great approach for the cloud native world.

Many thanks! Indeed, I'm looking forward to offering this as a cloud service someday.

#8This looks cool, can't wait to try it!
At first, people might think "$10,000 demo problem? What a high number!" Realistically, in corp environments, that number is an understatement. Plus the long time (and pain) it takes to get every team's buy-in to help with capturing/generating that data.

Thanks! Yeah, I didn't want to seem cheeky throwing out a big round number, but it feels ballpark right based on all the situations I've been in.
