Getting Started with Chaos Engineering • Nora Jones, Casey Rosenthal & James Wickett • GOTO 2020

The authors of Chaos Engineering share key takeaways on navigating distributed systems and learning from incidents.

This interview was recorded for the GOTO Book Club. #GOTOcon #GOTOBookClub gotopia.tech/bookclub Nora Jones - Co-Author of "Chaos Engineering" Casey Rosenthal - Co-Author of "Chaos Engineering" @caseyrosenthal9467 James Wickett - Founder of Open Source Project Gauntlt @wickett99 DESCRIPTION Today we have the authors of the Chaos Engineering book sharing key takeaways from the book and from their experience working on chaos projects. This Book Club episode is an expansion of a recent interview between Nora Jones and Casey Rosenthal on the comedic Chaos Community Broadcast [chaos.community]. We now include expanded conversation, including discussion about Nora's work with the Learning from Incidents community. Chaos engineering is much more than just hype. Get the map and compass that you need to navigate the stormy waters of distributed systems while optimizing to meet business goals. Casey Rosenthal and Nora Jones, authors of “Chaos Engineering,” highlight some of the best practices that famous companies like Netflix and Capital One use to break (or not break) their systems in productions, so that you can get a taste of it.
