In episode two of the "Break Things on Purpose" podcast, hosts Rich Burroughs and Jacob Plicque interview Michael Kehoe, a Staff Site Reliability Engineer at LinkedIn, about the company's approach to Chaos Engineering. Kehoe discusses LinkedIn's Chaos Engineering project, Waterbear, which includes tools like Fire Drill, LinkedOut, and D2 Tuner to test and enhance system reliability without impacting user experience. He highlights the importance of understanding system behavior under stress to improve resilience and mentions his background at NASA, which influenced his focus on reliability. The conversation emphasizes the significance of communication between teams to effectively implement Chaos Engineering and the potential for such practices to break down silos and foster a culture of operational excellence. Kehoe also touches on the future of Chaos Engineering, suggesting it will increasingly be integrated into API layers and involve human factors like personnel availability.
