Embracing Collaborative Chaos

Explore the principles and practices of Chaos Engineering in this conference talk from NDC Oslo 2021. Learn how to address risks in distributed systems by deliberately inducing failures and analyzing outcomes to improve system resilience. Discover the benefits of running Chaos Days, including deepening understanding of failure modes and improving incident response. Gain insights from real-world experiences of implementing Chaos Engineering in a major Government department with multiple digital delivery teams. Understand the mechanics of planning, executing, and retrospecting a Chaos Day, as well as how to leverage unplanned failures for system improvement. Explore various starting points for applying Chaos Engineering in your own context, regardless of your technical infrastructure. Leave with practical knowledge on how to embrace collaborative chaos to build more resilient systems and teams.
