There's more to chaos engineering than deliberately breaking stuff in production. With this book, QA engineers as well as program and product managers will examine the theory, history, and implementation of this full-fledged software engineering discipline. Chaos experts Casey Rosenthal and Nora Jones will bring you up to speed on this practice for finding failures within your application, network, and infrastructure. As the software industry continues to move toward microservices and other complex, distributed systems, fewer people are able to hold a working picture of the entire system in their minds. Complexity can't be removed from these systems, but new methodologies allow engineers to navigate the complexity while optimizing for business goals such as feature velocity, performance, and fault tolerance. This book guides you through chaos engineering and demonstrates how this methodology can help you optimize for availability.

System Resiliency in Practice

Chaos Engineering

As more companies move toward microservices and other distributed technologies, the complexity of these systems increases. You can’t remove the complexity, but through Chaos Engineering you can discover vulnerabilities and prevent outages before they impact your customers. This practical guide shows engineers how to navigate complex systems while optimizing to meet business goals. Two of the field’s prominent figures, Casey Rosenthal and Nora Jones, pioneered the discipline while working together at Netflix. In this book, they expound on the what, how, and why of Chaos Engineering while facilitating a conversation from practitioners across industries. Many chapters are written by contributing authors to widen the perspective across verticals within (and beyond) the software industry. Learn how Chaos Engineering enables your organization to navigate complexity Explore a methodology to avoid failures within your application, network, and infrastructure Move from theory to practice through real-world stories from industry experts at Google, Microsoft, Slack, and LinkedIn, among others Establish a framework for thinking about complexity within software systems Design a Chaos Engineering program around game days and move toward highly targeted, automated experiments Learn how to design continuous collaborative chaos experiments
