Summary

We’ve taken a long journey in this chapter, exploring what chaos engineering is all about. Far from being about causing destruction and disorder, chaos engineering is like a stress test for our digital systems, helping us find weaknesses and make them stronger. In a world where our digital systems are as complex as a spider’s web, chaos engineering is like a flashlight helping us see how to improve them.

Chaos engineering is a little like being a detective, making educated guesses about where weaknesses might lurk, running experiments, and seeing what we can learn. We found out that chaos engineering is a practical tool that can make our systems better at weathering the inevitable disruptions that come their way.

We’ve delved into how we can use different tools and techniques to carry out chaos engineering, and how important it is to have everyone on board – from the tech team right up to the boss. This isn’t something that can be done...
