Claims that shifting reliability left and automating load and resilience checks prevents production meltdowns after an unexpected traffic surge. Pipeline adds k6 with xk6-kubernetes alongside JMeter and Gatling for load, pushes SLOs and SLIs into observability (Grafana, Datadog, New Relic), layers contract tests and chaos tests to inject latency and force pod evictions, and records that after adding these checks releases tolerate Friday spikes without mass pod restarts and excessive overprovisioning.
