A Key to Success: Failure with Chaos Engineering

In May, a Meetup was held at the Microsoft Reactor in San Francisco focusing on the culture of failure and its impact on testing in production. Ana Medina, Chaos Engineer at Gremlin, spoke about how performing chaos engineering experiments and embracing failure helps engineers build resilience and learn from mistakes. She emphasized that creating a culture that teaches failure is okay can lead to more inclusive environments where everyone can learn together. The event also discussed game days, Takedown Thursdays, postmortem outage reproduction using chaos engineering, and on-call training using chaos engineering as ways to promote the culture of failure and improve resiliency in systems.
