Chaos Engineering: Building Resilient Systems

Embrace the Failure


Hope is not a strategy. Systems will fail. The only question is whether they fail when you are watching, or at 3 AM on a Sunday.


Controlled Explosions


We regularly inject failure into our systems:

  • Killing random pods
  • Introducing network latency
  • Simulating region failures

    • The Result


    This practice forces us to build systems that degrade gracefully. Instead of a hard crash, users might experience slightly slower load times or a read-only mode. This is the difference between a minor annoyance and a major outage.
