Best for

  • Design steady-state hypothesis validation for microservices during peak traffic periods
  • Execute controlled failure injection experiments on Kubernetes clusters with automatic rollback
  • Plan game day exercises to test incident response capabilities across distributed systems
  • Implement blast radius controls for chaos experiments in production environments
  • Build organizational chaos engineering maturity with scientific experiment methodology

What you'll get

  • Scientific experiment design with measurable steady-state metrics, controlled fault injection plan, automated observation dashboards, and safety rollback procedures
  • Game day runbook with pre-experiment checklist, failure scenarios, team roles, communication protocols, and post-experiment analysis framework
  • Organizational chaos engineering maturity assessment with readiness criteria, experiment progression roadmap, and success metrics definition
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Breaking production systems without controlled recovery mechanisms
  • ×Load testing or performance benchmarking without failure injection
  • ×General monitoring and observability setup without chaos validation
  • ×Security penetration testing or vulnerability assessment
Expects

System architecture details, monitoring capabilities, incident response maturity, and specific reliability concerns to validate through controlled failure injection.

Returns

Scientifically structured chaos experiments with hypothesis formulation, blast radius controls, measurement plans, and automated rollback strategies.
