I’ve run across a fun little trick to simulate latency in your development environments when testing some SQL queries. Possible use-cases including to validate that backend latency won’t bring down your frontend, or that your UX is still bearable, etc.
The solution is PostgreSQL and Hibernate specific, though it doesn’t have to be. Besides, it uses a stored function to work around the limitations of a VOID function in PostgreSQL, but that can be worked around differently as well, without storing anything auxiliary to the catalog.
