Chaos Engineering is a proactive discipline in system design where engineers intentionally introduce failures or unpredictable conditions into a system to test its resilience.
The goal is not to break your system permanently but to uncover vulnerabilities and improve its robustness before actual, unplanned failures occur.
Think of it as a “fire drill” for your digital infrastructure. By simulating real-world failure scenarios, you learn how your system behaves under stress, allowing you to address weaknesses before they lead to outages.
