# Theodolite

> A theodolite is a precision optical instrument for measuring angles between designated visible points in the horizontal and vertical planes. -- [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodolite)

Theodolite is a framework for benchmarking the horizontal and vertical scalability of cloud-native applications in Kubernetes.

## Quickstart

Theodolite runs scalability benchmarks in Kubernetes. Follow our [quickstart guide](https://www.theodolite.rocks/quickstart.html) to get started.

## Documentation

Documentation on Theodolite itself as well as regarding its benchmarking method can be found on the [Theodolite website](https://www.theodolite.rocks).

## Project Structure

* Core of Theodolite is its Kubernetes Operator, implemented in Kotlin. The source-code can be found in [`theodolite`](theodolite).
* Theodolite's Helm chart and templates are maintained in [`helm`](helm).
* We provide Juptyer notebooks for analyzing and visualizing the results of benchmark executions in [`analysis`](analysis).
* Theodolite comes with 4 application benchmarks, which are based on typical use cases for stream processing within microservices. Implementations of these benchmarks with several state-of-the art stream processing frameworks as well as corresponding load generators can be found in [`theodolite-benchmarks`](theodolite-benchmarks). This includes both the source code of the implementations as well as benchmark definitions for Theodolite in [`theodolite-benchmarks/definitions`](theodolite-benchmarks/definitions).
* The source code of Theodolite's SLO checkers are located in [`slo-checker`](slo-checker).
* The documentation, which is hosted on [theodolite.rocks](https://www.theodolite.rocks), is located in [`docs`](docs).
