Deriving meaning in a time of chaos: The intersection between chaos engineering and observability

Crystal Hirschorn explores incident planning, postmortem-driven development, chaos engineering, and observability practices and details the exponential effect they can have on leveling up your engineering organization, one controlled chaos experiment at a time.

The technology industry has progressively built a deep appreciation around the three pillars of observability, accompanied by enthusiastic debates on the theories and practices of building resilient and scalable systems. Incident management, mitigation, and resolution have been stops along a well-trodden path for decades, understood by both IT and engineering departments alike. But what if we could join forces with incident planning, postmortem-driven development, chaos engineering, and observability practices? Crystal Hirschorn explores some of these concepts and details the exponential effect they can have on leveling up your engineering organization, one controlled chaos experiment at a time.
