chaos-engineering-resilience

What problem does it solve?

This Skill proactively identifies and fixes weaknesses in distributed systems by intentionally introducing failures, preventing unexpected outages and building confidence in system resilience.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Controlled Failure Injection: Guides through injecting various failures (network, infrastructure, application) with controlled blast radii.
• Resilience Validation: Helps validate automatic recovery, error rate thresholds, data integrity, and alert mechanisms.
• Netflix Chaos Monkey: Explains the principles behind Netflix's famous Chaos Monkey for instance termination.
• Use Case: Before deploying a critical microservice, use this Skill to simulate network latency and instance terminations, ensuring the service gracefully degrades and recovers without data loss.

Quick Start

Use the chaos-engineering-resilience skill to design a controlled experiment that terminates 10% of instances in the 'payment-service' for 5 minutes, verifying the system's steady state is maintained.
