KHAOS: KAFKA LOAD TESTING & CHAOS ENGINEERING

Summary from the TLDR Data newsletter

Khaos is an open-source Kafka load-testing and chaos-simulation tool that was recently rewritten in Go. It generates realistic producers and consumers, exercises broker failures, hot partitions, consumer lag, rebalances, and backpressure, and gives platform teams a repeatable way to test Kafka behavior before they encounter production incidents.
