Chaos Engineering overview
A discipline of experimenting on distributed systems to build confidence in their ability to withstand turbulent conditions. Follows a scientific method: define steady state, hypothesize about system behavior, inject real-world failures (network partitions, instance kills, latency injection), observe divergence from steady state. Practices include game days, automated chaos experiments, and blast radius containment.
