Chaos engineering

While it’s good to think through which combinations of systems and services you can disable and restart, there is always the possibility that you have missed something. For confidence in your application’s resilience, you can implement Chaos Monkey to automatically cause failures throughout your system.

This idea was made famous by Netflix, which introduced a program called Chaos Monkey to deliberately disable parts of their system.

Simon Amey

Simon has worked in the high-tech industry for over 20 years, in roles as diverse as software engineer, product manager, project manager, support engineer, and operations manager. However, most of his time has been spent breaking other people's code as a tester and test manager. He has worked in organizations as small as thirty people and as large as some of the biggest tech companies in the world; he has seen companies go out of business and worked in those acquired for their technology. All that experience has given him a deep insight into the development process. In particular, he knows the problems cause by inadequate testing, and how to solve them.
