Automating Chaos Experiments in Production

Year: 2019

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Distributed systems often face transient errors and localized component degradation and failure. Verifying that the overall system remains healthy in the face of such failures is challenging. At Netflix, we have built a platform for automatically generating and executing chaos experiments, which check how well the production system can handle component failures and slowdowns. This paper describes the platform and our experiences operating it.
