I've put Toxiproxy between the app and the database (app connects to Toxiproxy, Toxiproxy connects to database), added a bit of latency to the connection, and voilà, realistic behavior (and realistic performance degradation) on my MacBook.

It allowed me to pinpoint a performance issue in one of my applications, where the severity of a N+1 query pattern was not really visible on my dev system (where app and database live on the same host), but was painfully visible on the production system.

- you need battle-tested engineering experience

- understand the problem and solution domains

- write precise and thorough, well-structured requirements

- have encompassing Quality Tools in place — tests, linters, static analysis etc; agent mode is a bliss with these in place
