In this talk, Jacob Plicque (Chaos Engineer & Resilience Coach, former Senior SRE @ Fanatics) will answer the 5 W's (who, what, where, when, & why) of Chaos Engineering.

You’ll Learn:

The methodical way to begin Chaos Engineering
The value of running chaos experiments to build more reliable systems and confidence in your remediation processes.
How other companies are using Chaos Engineering—and the positive results they’ve seen creating reliable distributed systems with CE

Chaos Engineering is NOT

Applying failure modes randomly
Applying failures to your entire infrastructure straight away
Applying failure on systems without communication
Creating a one-off fix to be run once and then abandoned

Chaos Engineering IS

Applying failures carefully, and with an explicit hypothesis
Starting small and growing the blast radius
Communicating plans clearly with all stakeholders
Designing a well-defined practice that requires constant attention
