Reliable failure testing

Failure is erratic, so you have to be rigorous if you want to study it. The chaos testing process maximises the safety of your operations while allowing you to discover unknown threats.

What is ... ?

Gourmet Cloud solutions, dished serverless-style

Serverless does not mean there are no servers involved at all. Rather, it simply means that clients do not need to be concerned about the machines or networks running in the background, as this infrastructure is managed entirely by AWS in the Cloud.

Firefighters vs robot monkeys

What started as a brave experiment is now best practice at big tech firms like Google and Facebook. This relatively young, truly interdisciplinary 21st-century field draws on anything from scientific method, systems and behavioural theory to gaming culture and firefighting.

The confidence of recovery

Failure is not abnormal or wrong, or a dead end. It is only a degraded state, one for which systems engineers can plan adaptations and mitigations.

Practice breaking your system

We observe chaos when frustration runs high during any online system failure. Today’s world is dependent on the cloud, and the cloud depends on its systems engineers. Unfortunately, we can't always prevent failure.
