Sharath Reddy and Venkatesh Maligireddy, PayPal
As an SRE or an application owner, it is common to come across the below questions/scenarios during the day-to-day activities of an engineer:
- "If only we had seen this sooner…" during the course of a SITE incident.
- "What happens if one of my service dependencies fails?"
- "How reliable my application is in the production environment?"
Chaos engineering has evolved into a must-to-have SRE culture that addresses the above questions and thereby improves the resiliency of internal systems that gives the teams confidence and a path to provide best-in-class products at scale.
In this talk, we will cover
- The Chaos principles
- How to prepare for Chaos journey in an organization
- How to conduct Chaos Gamedays
- How to Measure and Track the resiliency of a system
- Leverage existing opensource Chaos platforms
