What is chaos engineering?
In this section, we will define what is meant by chaos engineering, the benefits of using chaos engineering, and how it differs from normal testing or game day testing.
Chaos engineering is the deliberate introduction of faults into a system to assess its resilience. The goal is to uncover potential failure points and address them before they lead to actual outages or disruptions.
Implementing chaos engineering requires a well-thought-out plan. Without a clear plan, you may end up creating more problems than you solve. When creating your plan, you need to determine what you want to test and how you’ll do it. Once you have a plan in place, you can start experimenting.
Software developers should integrate chaos engineering into their workflows. By introducing these events in a controlled, non-production environment, you can observe how your system reacts and identify any potential issues.
After identifying potential failure points, you can...
