Summary

Chaos Engineering is a practice used to make systems more resilient by intentionally introducing failures into them, allowing developers to identify and fix issues before they become critical. Tammy Butow, Principal SRE at Gremlin, emphasizes the importance of making Chaos Engineering accessible to all team members, from developers to operators, and providing tools that support this goal. The Gremlin platform is designed with safety, reliability, and security in mind, allowing users to quickly understand what Chaos Engineering experiments are scheduled to run and be empowered to run additional experiments in their local environment. To make Chaos Engineering work effectively in development workflows, Tammy recommends focusing on developer understanding, using monitoring and observability tools, sharing experiment results in code reviews, and automating experiments using the Gremlin API. By following these tips, developers can integrate Chaos Engineering into their daily workflow, making their systems more resilient and better equipped to handle real-world failures.
