  Description     : (φίδι) service mock system for testing infrastructure

 The goal of φίδι (fidi) is to model some aspects of arbitrarily
 complex services, and simulate the behaviour of the service business
 logic (without actually containing any real business logic or
 complexity) in presence of external stimuli. Each instance of the
 φίδι (fidi) application can mock a node in the complex, client
 serfver service that it is mocking. Different instances of φίδι
 (fidi) talk to other instanceds of themselves, like a snake (φίδι)
 eating its tail.

 φίδι (fidi) also simulates fault injection symptoms, which allows the
 simulation of normal behaviour as well as incidents and recovery. The
 motivation is to test the behaviour of the infrastructure,
 monitoring, alerting and logging systems, while mocking an actual
 service.

Hi Manoj,

This seems like useful software :-)  Would you please consider noting in
the long description what language the word φίδι is from?  I'm guessing
other people will be curious.  Is it Greek, by the way?  Feel free to
disregard this message if the intent is to force people to manually look
up the word online ;-)

Regards,
Nicholas
