Embrace and learn from failures in complex systems through chaos engineering, which proactively hunts for evidence of system weaknesses before they cause a crisis. This practical book shows software developers and system administrators how to plan and run successful experiments, including testing systems, processes, and team responses using simulated failures on Game Days.

Most companies strive diligently to evade costly failures, yet in intricate systems, a more effective strategy involves embracing and learning from them. By employing chaos engineering, you can proactively identify and address system vulnerabilities before they escalate into crises. This practical guide is designed to assist software developers and system administrators in executing successful chaos engineering experiments.

System weaknesses extend beyond your infrastructure, platforms, and applications to encompass policies, practices, playbooks, and human elements. Author Russ Miles delves into the reasons, timing, and methodologies for testing systems, processes, and team responses through simulated failures on Game Days. You will also gain insights into fostering continuous chaos through automation, enabling you to share features across your team and organization.

In this book, you will learn to think like a chaos engineer, develop a hypothesis backlog to identify potential risks in your system, transform your hypotheses into chaos engineering experiments, execute, analyze, and learn from automated chaos experiments utilizing the open-source Chaos Toolkit. Furthermore, you will transform chaos experiments into tests to validate the remediation of identified weaknesses.

By actively observing and controlling your automated chaos experiments, you can ensure their smooth execution and maximize the benefits of embracing failure as a catalyst for growth and improvement in complex systems.
