Chaos Engineering
Chaos engineering is a discipline that focuses on deliberately introducing controlled instances of chaos or failure into a system in order to discover vulnerabilities and weaknesses. It involves running experiments on a system to test its resilience, robustness and ability to withstand unexpected conditions. The primary goal of chaos engineering is to proactively identify and address potential issues in a system's design or infrastructure before they cause significant problems in real-world scenarios. By intentionally causing failures, such as network outages, server crashes, or database failures, chaos engineers can observe how the system responds and identify areas that need improvement. Chaos engineering typically involves the following steps: Steady state : Defining the steady state of the system, this refers to the desired, normal functioning of the system. Hypothesising potential weaknesses : Brainstorm potential failure scenarios or vulnerabilities that could disrupt the ste...
