Revealing Resilience Vulnerabilities in Spring Boot Architectures

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

A reproducible chaos gameday framework tests Spring Boot resilience by injecting faults into a three‑service setup (order, customer, product) registered with Eureka and protected by circuit breaker with Hystrix. The team automates experiments and cloud deployment (Azure via Pulumi/CLI) and uses Chaos Monkey for Spring Boot to run attacks such as a 50s injected latency against customer service to verify timeouts and fallbacks, observe cascading behavior, and record whether circuit breakers and bulkheads actually prevent system collapse.
