Chaos Engineering is a proactive approach to enhancing the resilience of distributed systems by intentionally injecting controlled failures and observing the system's responses. The practice originated from Netflix's need to design for failure after a significant outage, leading to the creation of Chaos Monkey, which tests system weaknesses by intentionally disabling instances. This method has since gained popularity, with tools like AWS Fault Injection Simulator and increasing interest in the field. By simulating failures, Chaos Engineering helps teams identify vulnerabilities, improve system documentation, and build reflexive responses to real-world failures, ultimately leading to higher availability and decreased Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR). The blog series emphasizes the importance of Chaos Engineering for any platform, using Kong Gateway as an example to illustrate scenarios like testing hybrid deployments and availability zone outages. Through these controlled experiments, teams can prepare for potential failures, ensuring their systems are robust and minimizing downtime, thus maintaining confidence in the platform's reliability.
