Safety in Chaos - Forming Realistic Failure Hypotheses

Explore the intricacies of forming realistic failure hypotheses in chaos engineering through this 40-minute conference talk from Strange Loop. Delve into the process of subjecting systems to failures to increase confidence in their stability. Learn how to formulate better hypotheses by separating opinions from facts, and examine examples of overly simplistic hypotheses that may not yield desired outcomes. Discover techniques for pushing safety boundaries to increase the riskiness of hypotheses while maintaining system stability. Gain insights on influencing organizational decision-making to invest in chaos testing, and learn strategies for balancing chaos engineering investments with other priorities.
