In this video, we will demonstrate how to use Gremlin and Jenkins to create an automated Chaos Gauntlet. This will be done using Jenkins Pipelines and Stages to inject a controlled amount of failure with the Gremlin API. We then add a final stage that allows you to optionally halt the attack from the pipeline, rather than having to wait for the full duration of the attack.

Serverless enabled us to build highly distributed applications that led to more granular functions and ultimate scalability. However, it also brought the risk of failure from a single microservice to many serverless functions and resources. You might be able to predict and design for certain troublesome issues but there are many, many more that you probably will not be able to easily plan for. How do you build a resilient system under these highly distributed circumstances? The answer is Chaos Engineering: Breaking things on purpose just to experience how the whole system will react.

We’re all here for the same purpose: to ensure the systems we build operate reliably. This is a difficult task, one that must balance people, process and technology during difficult conditions. We operate with incomplete information, assessing risks and dealing with emerging issues. We’ve found Chaos Engineering to be a valuable tool in addressing these concerns. Learn from real world examples what works, what doesn’t, and what the future holds.

You don't need to write automation or deploy on Kubernetes to gain benefits from resilience engineering! Learn how Honeycomb improved the reliability of our Zookeeper, Kafka, and stateful storage systems through terminating nodes on purpose. We'll discuss the initial manual experiments we ran, the bugs in our automatic replacement tools we uncovered, and what steps we needed to progress towards continuously running the experiments. Today, no node at Honeycomb lives longer than 12 months, and we automatically recycle nodes every week.

How do you run incidents and postmortems at a company with thousands of engineers spread across the globe? Jim Severino shares what worked (and didn't worked) for Atlassian.

The biggest challenges engineering organizations face are not technical. They’re fundamental problems with how we think and go about doing work, and the environments that we work in. In this talk, Gene Kim will share the Five Ideals and how they relate to Chaos Engineering. He’ll also show how the Five Ideals help build stronger, better performing, and ultimately more reliable companies.
