Description

Hi Shopify team! 👋

First off, thank you for creating Toxiproxy - it's been an invaluable tool for our chaos engineering practices over the past few months.

While using Toxiproxy, we encountered a common challenge: managing numerous proxies and toxics exclusively through CLI became increasingly complex as our testing scenarios grew. To address this, we developed Toxihub - a web-based interface that complements Toxiproxy's native REST API.

What is Toxihub?

Image

Toxihub is a Node.js wrapper that provides:

  • 🖥️ An intuitive web UI for managing proxies and toxics
  • 🔧 Simplified REST API endpoints for common operations
  • 📊 Real-time visualization of active proxies and their toxics
  • ⚡ One-click operations (start/stop server, toggle proxies, inject toxics)
  • 🎨 A terminal-themed interface that feels familiar to DevOps engineers

Repository: https://github.com/videsk/toxihub
Web interface: https://toxihub.videsk.io/

Key Features

  • Zero Configuration: Works with existing Toxiproxy installations
  • Auto-discovery: Automatically detects and syncs with running Toxiproxy instances
  • Simplified Toxic Management: Visual forms for configuring latency, bandwidth, timeouts, etc.
  • Bulk Operations: Easily reset all proxies or apply common network conditions
  • Cross-platform: Runs on any system where Node.js is available

Community Collaboration

We built Toxihub to solve our own challenges, but we believe it could benefit the wider Toxiproxy community. We're actively seeking feedback to improve and enhance the tool based on real-world usage patterns.

Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions! We're committed to maintaining this as an open-source companion tool to Toxiproxy.

Thank you for your time and for creating such an amazing tool! 🚀
