Chaos Experiment Design Basics

Design safe chaos tests

Chaos experiments should define hypotheses, start with small blast radius, set success/abort metrics, and include rollback, ensuring learnings are captured and fixes are prioritized.

Hypothesize

State expected behavior under failure and what you measure.

Limit Risk

Small scope, tight time windows, clear abort/rollback.

Learn

Document results and remediation; rerun after fixes.
