Chaos engineering for the rest of us
summary
Covers practical chaos engineering fundamentals with a concrete claim: classify failures into four failure classes (known, known-but-not-handled, unknown-but-expected, unknown), show real-world fault modes like network partitions, carrier or country-level outages and server crashes, and use controlled experiments in production to learn — fault injection, traffic shaping and failover drills. Presents pragmatic strategies and techniques borrowed from large distributed systems teams and reports whether the injected failures revealed recovery gaps.
