Chaos Engineering Basics

Test failure before it hits

Chaos experiments deliberately break components or degrade dependencies to validate resilience, using hypotheses, blast-radius limits, metrics, and safe rollback to learn without causing outages.

Define Hypothesis

State what should happen under failure and how to measure it.

Limit Blast Radius

Start small, during low risk windows, with clear stop conditions.

Learn and Fix

Document findings, remediate weaknesses, and rerun after fixes.
