Synopsis: 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 complexityExplore a methodology to avoid failures within your application, network, and infrastructureMove from theory to practice through real-world stories from industry experts at Google, Microsoft, Slack, and LinkedIn, among othersEstablish a framework for thinking about complexity within software systemsDesign a Chaos Engineering program around game days and move toward highly targeted, automated experimentsLearn how to design continuous collaborative chaos experiments
