⚠ Scenario: Third-party API failure
Third-party API failure testing
Your uptime is only as good as the APIs you call. This scenario makes a dependency error or hang, from your side of the connection only.
What happens
Calls to the chosen provider return errors or hang.
Retries, timeouts and circuit breakers engage.
Fallback paths are exercised.
What it proves

Questions
+ Do you send traffic to the provider?
Never. Faults are injected on your own hosts, between your code and the provider. We never touch third parties.
Safe by design
Runs only against infrastructure you have verified you own, with a blast-radius limit, a hard time limit and an abort button. Never against third parties.
