AI Scenarios
The AI can pick a stress scenario for your design. It looks at your architecture, picks a realistic way it could break, and sets up the simulator to run it.
How to use it
Section titled “How to use it”- Click Simulate in the header, or ask the chat to stress test your design.
- The AI looks at your design and picks a scenario (traffic spike, block outage, cascading slowdown).
- The simulator runs it step by step.
- Results show a timeline with health %, the first thing to break, the chain of failures, and fixes to try.
- Playback starts automatically so you can watch items flow on the canvas.
What the AI picks vs. what the simulator computes
Section titled “What the AI picks vs. what the simulator computes”| AI picks | Simulator computes |
|---|---|
| Scenario settings (traffic level, who fails, how slow). | Actual routing and queue behavior. |
| The story around the run. | Health % at each step. |
| Suggested fixes. | The first failure point and the chain that follows. |
The AI never makes up the outcome. It picks the scenario, the engine runs it, and the result is the same every time.
Manual stress testing
Section titled “Manual stress testing”You can also stress test manually without AI from the Stress Test panel (open it from the Overview panel). It has:
- One-click scenarios (Baseline, Peak Traffic, Outage, Slowdown).
- Traffic dials (1-1000 items, 1-5× multiplier, arrival pattern).
- Break things on purpose (kill a block, slow a block, add line latency).
See Stress Testing for the full set of manual controls.
