Consul and Chaos Engineering
The text discusses improving application resiliency using HashiCorp Consul, a service mesh that helps decentralize networking responsibilities without deploying additional infrastructure or making application changes. It also introduces chaos engineering as a method to test the effectiveness of this approach by intentionally introducing failure scenarios and observing how the system handles them. The use of Consul and Envoy proxies ensures automatic failover and traffic management, contributing to improved application resiliency.
