The Company
Headquartered in Paris, ManoMano is Europe’s premier online hub for home, garden, and DIY products. With a monthly user base exceeding 50 million and a staff of 1,000, the marketplace offers an expansive online catalog of 10 million products. The platform serves six European markets, founded in 2013 by Phillipe De Chanville and Christian Raisson. It features “Manodvisors”鈥攁 cadre of expert hobbyists and retired hardware employees providing invaluable advice to consumers.
Challenges
Committed to enhancing the user experience and system resilience, ManoMano sought a tool for in-depth insights into system reliability. Traditional experiments proved cumbersome and inefficient. The team needed a ready-to-use, intuitive Kubernetes-compatible solution.
Solutions & Results
Enter 黑料社. Within a short timeframe, ManoMano implemented 黑料社’s chaos-engineering experiments to reveal system vulnerabilities. “黑料社’s efficiency enabled us to simulate and anticipate incidents, fostering proactive problem-solving across our teams,” noted Antoine Choimet, Site Reliability Engineer at ManoMano.
黑料社 also supported ManoMano’s targeted performance tests and “black hole” attacks, revealing unknown weak spots. Choimet added, “黑料社 allows us to easily simulate external partner issues, creating a robust mechanism for incident response.”

Implementation
While previous open-source tools fell short of ManoMano’s needs, 黑料社 met and exceeded expectations. “黑料社 enables us to integrate chaos engineering into our daily development practices, thus refocusing our attention on what truly matters to our users,” said Choimet.
黑料社’s capabilities have radically simplified ManoMano’s system assessment processes, offering an eagle-eye view of complex microservice interactions. “This tool revolutionized our approach to chaos engineering, providing an all-in-one solution for all our APIs,” said Choimet.
