Show HN: Chaos Monkey but for Audio Video Testing (WebRTC and UDP)
It takes an input video and converts it into H.264/Opus RTP streams
that you can blast at your video call systems (WebRTC, SFUs, etc.).
It also injects network chaos like packet loss, jitter, and bitrate
throttling to see how things break It scales from 1 to n
participants, depending on the compute and memory of the host
system Best part? It's packaged with Nix, so it builds the same
everywhere (Linux, macOS, ARM, x86). No dependency hell It
supports both UDP (with a relay chain for Kubernetes) and WebRTC
(with containerized TURN servers). Chaos spikes can be distributed
evenly, randomly, or front/back-loaded for different test
scenarios. To change this, just edit the values in a single config
file
