Show Notes:
- Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Let’s talk a little bit about your background and why you like to break stuff.
- Topic 2 - A lot of people have heard about this concept (tool) called “Chaos Monkey”, but you were part of teams that made this a discipline, called “Chaos Engineering”. Help us understand what that means and what it attempts to do.
- Topic 3 - As people build distributed, cloud applications, they are often using a platform (e.g. Kubernetes) and application frameworks (e.g Spring Boot). Does there need to be alignment between the elements of Chaos Engineering (tools, etc.) and those platforms/frameworks?
- Topic 4 - Topic 4 - We understand that technology now drives a 24x7x365 world, but the idea of intentional chaos in production seems crazy. How does a company get buy-in to start doing this stuff?
- Topic 5 - What are some commons mistakes, design faults that companies make that Chaos Engineering often finds….and can help resolve?
- Topic 6 - How does Gremlin fit into the world of Chaos Engineering?
