Back then “Kaos” was the villanous organisation responsible for upsetting world order and our hero, Agent 86, bumbled his way to thwarting those doomsday efforts.

Chaos means a very different thing to me and what I do for a living nowadays.

This was the premise for the practice of Chaos Engineering at Netflix, introduced by Greg Orzell, it was to flip the idea on it’s head that Developers assume the circumstances in which an application or service fails, and put it in the hands of the monkeys to highlight what fails.

The principal of this process of Chaos Engineering is to drive better quality, more resilient systems that will pass the test of screaming monkey carnage.

Thankfully, nowadays there are a plethora of Chaos Engineering toolsets that you can use in anger against your money making production environments.
