Bring Chaos into your Development Environment

Companion repository to the talk I gave as part of Chaos Carnival 2021.

The recording is available here.

Five tips for bringing chaos into your development environments

Tip #1

Automatically deploy your application from the repo

Tip #2

Automatically run your chaos experiments from the repo

Tip #3

Automatically validate your chaos experiments from the repo, and make it easy to share the results.

Tip #4

Deploying your application and chaos experiments shouldn't require infra knowledge. It should be a button or a single script.

Tip #5

If going to Kubernetes, don't force your developers to run a cluster each.

Bonus round

Get realistic data in your development environments. It's hard, don't start here, but do it.
