Power Level 9000! Improving Application Performance with Chaos Engineering

Explore chaos engineering techniques to enhance application performance and resilience in cloud-native environments. This conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021 delves into specific experiments designed to improve cluster and application performance. Learn about tools like Litmuschaos, Kraken, and Chaos Mesh, and discover how to identify cluster latency issues, improve app SLOs, fix application latency problems, detect latency in service meshes, and optimize cluster auto-scaling. Gain insights into implementing chaos experiments in your organization, including a demonstration of running a latency chaos experiment continuously in a CI pipeline on k3s. Review chaos tooling options, address common FAQs about chaos engineering, and understand how to apply these techniques to elevate your cloud-native applications to the next level of performance and reliability.
