Fast and Easy Traffic Mirroring and SLO Validation with Iter8
summary
Iter8 is an open source CLI and Helm-chart-based experiment engine that automates load generation and SLO validation for HTTP and gRPC services, runs experiments locally or inside Kubernetes, and integrates with Istio/KNative/KServe/Seldon. Demos show four concrete workflows: HTTP benchmark, in-cluster run, gRPC benchmark (latency SLOs fail on the demo host), and Istio traffic mirroring that queries Prometheus-backed custom metrics. Namespace-scoped mode avoids cluster-admin CRDs and a GitHub Action enables CI integration.
