In today's constantly evolving digital era, ensuring the reliability and resilience of cloud native applications is crucial. As these applications become more complex, chaos engineering has emerged as a powerful methodology for proactively testing and validating their robustness. Chaos Mesh, an open-source chaos engineering tool for Kubernetes, provides a comprehensive framework for orchestrating chaos experiments in cloud native environments.

In the session, I'll take a deep dive into Chaos Mesh, exploring its essential features and functionalities, and demonstrating how it can simplify the chaos engineering process for cloud native applications.

I'll also discuss a few companies that have solved their problems using chaos engineering. For instance, Netflix's Chaos Monkey was one of the pioneers in Chaos Engineering. They intentionally disrupted their systems to identify and address weaknesses, leading to improved fault tolerance and a more resilient streaming platform.

In addition to exploring Chaos Mesh's essential features and functionalities, we'll delve into best practices for integrating chaos engineering into your application development lifecycle, how we can also reduce downtime and enhance System Reliability. Let's discover how you can apply these insights to enhance the performance and stability of your own applications.
