Perses

Cause (controlled) destruction to your jvm application

Perses (Ancient Greek: Πέρσης) was the Titan god of destruction. His name is derived from the Ancient Greek word perthō ("to destroy")

What is the goal.

Perses allows you to dynamically inject failure/latency at the bytecode level, without the need to add any dependency or restart/deploy the target app. Just load 2 jars at the same enviroment the target JVM is running and execute java -jar perses-injector.jar <Target Application name>.

Perses is designed to enable developpers and QAs to easily reproduce & debug tricky production issues.
