Slomo is a rack middleware that slows down your requests.
Slow servers are a reality and sometimes simulating a slow server on your development machine in order to find how your application handles a slow API can be a pain so I've done this gem to test some edge cases and to see how applications handle a slow server. Coupled with rack timeout you can even test some weird "sometimes it happens" timeout cases. Also...you can only really know someone once you've seen them use a slow internet connection :-)
In your Gemfile:
gem 'slomo'
If you're using rails add this to your application.rb:
config.middleware.use(Slomo::Middleware)Or if you're using sinatra:
use Slomo::MiddlewareFire up your server and slow down while you browse your application. Currently it lasts 0 to 2 seconds longer to process your requests, I'll try and make this configurable in future versions.
