Antithesis

Neither an endoresment or a disapproval of this product, which I do not know and have not used. That said, the basic thesis that E2E tests should be the most important component of your test suite in distributed systems is interesting. And the call to fix root causes rather than live with unsatisfactory work-arounds forever certainly resonates with me.

This is the future of software development. Simply amazing.

🚨 Just one hour to go! 🚨 Don’t miss the live premiere of, "Being Our Own Worst Customer" with Brian Lagoda and John Murray of Antithesis. 🕙 Today at 10am PT | 1pm ET | 7pm CET https://lnkd.in/guzdhS9k #SD24 #DST #Deterministic

It's no secret we test things. But who tests us? Watch John Murray and Brian Lagoda discuss how to test a deterministic simulator with itself in their Systems Distributed '24 presentation. Premieres on TigerBeetle's YouTube channel in 10 min.

Product development with superpowers! No more “if only we collected that log or evaluated that endpoint during the test”. 

I once did a manual version of this for a customer at Antithesis. I spent hours feeding inputs into the simulator by hand in order to replay and get log dumps at every 10th of a second leading up to the crash. It took me several days & nights of work, but the customer called it “magic” and were able to debug the otherwise impossible and invisible. Now it’s available automatically, in minutes? Truly magic.

Amazing work by the Antithesis team getting this launched! I'm super excited to see what our customers are going to do with their new time machine 😎

The ability to pause/resume an entire running system, examine each component and deterministically playback issues found from previous test runs will be valuable for anyone debugging hard-to-solve issues with complex systems. Also finally a fun debugging experience for engineers! #snouty

Ever hit a bug in production and wish you could rewind time to capture just a little more information? If you find that bug in Antithesis then we've got you covered:

Next in the #SD24 series! 🎬 Join Brian Lagoda and John Murray from Antithesis for their talk: "Being Our Own Worst Customer." Discover what happens when you test a #deterministic system by becoming your own toughest customer, why they took on this challenge, and the lessons learned from their experience. https://lnkd.in/gZcJE9nc 🗓 Wednesday, September 11 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 7pm CET
