As more companies move toward microservices and other distributed technologies, the complexity of these systems increases. You can't remove the complexity, but through Chaos Engineering you can discover vulnerabilities and prevent outages before they impact your customers. This practical guide shows engineers how to navigate complex systems while optimizing to meet business goals.

Two of the field's prominent figures, Casey Rosenthal and Nora Jones, pioneered the discipline while working together at Netflix. In this book, they expound on the what, how, and why of Chaos Engineering while facilitating a conversation from practitioners across industries. Many chapters are written by contributing authors to widen the perspective across verticals within (and beyond) the software industry.

• Learn how Chaos Engineering enables your organization to navigate complexity
• Explore a methodology to avoid failures within your application, network, and infrastructure
• Move from theory to practice through real-world stories from industry experts at Google, Microsoft, Slack, and LinkedIn, among others
• Establish a framework for thinking about complexity within software systems
• Design a Chaos Engineering program around game days and move toward highly targeted, automated experiments
• Learn how to design continuous collaborative chaos experiments

Nora Jones is a Senior Software Engineer on the Chaos Engineering team at Netflix where she works on ensuring that Netflix remains resilient in the face of uncertain conditions. She is also a student of Human Factors and Systems Safety at Lund University. She is passionate about resilient software, people, and the intersection of those two worlds. She recently keynoted at AWS re: Invent to an audience of 40,000 people about the benefits and business case behind implementing Chaos Engineering. Prior to Netflix Nora founded and led the Developer Productivity team at Jet.com.

Casey Rosenthal formalized the practice of Chaos Engineering by co-writing and publishing the definition http: //principlesofchaos.org/ with the Chaos Team at Netflix, which he managed for three years. He put together a conference on the topic called Chaos Community Day, the only conference dedicated to Chaos Engineering, which is now entering its fourth year. Casey also manages the Chaos Engineering Community Google Group and co-wrote the Chaos Engineering O'Reilly report. He is currently CTO at Backplane.io, a company that provides reliable and resilient infrastructure.

Nathan Aschbacher is currently CEO of Auxon Corporation. He began his career writing programs for CNC machines where overlooked edge cases resulted in mangled heaps of metal, broken tool bits, and lasting impressions of catastrophic failure. Over the many years since, Nathan has designed fault-tolerant, highly-available, and high-assurance systems for distributed data platforms, machine learning, and global payment processing. Nathan first applied Chaos Engineering principles to problems in the FinTech space, transferred the practice to autonomous vehicle development, and now explores the marriage of formal methods and Chaos Engineering for verifying and validating the resiliency of complex, highly-automated safety-critical systems in a number of different domains (e.g., automotive, industrial automation, and aerospace).
