Ask HN: Who uses Chaos Monkey?
The Chaos Monkey idea is amazing, but I haven't heard of many people using it besides Netflix.

- bennetthi 12y agoYes, but that doesn't answer the question, who is actually using it.
- mtmail 12y agoSure. I didn't claim it does. I added links so the next person doesn't have to guess too long what Code Monkey stands for. Did you email the https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/simianarmy-users https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/simianarmy-users email list?
- bennetthi 12y agoI hadn't, so I just did. Thanks for the suggestion. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/simianarmy-users/59rusLDhkpc https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/simianarmy-users/59r...
- hacknat 12y agoForget Chaos Monkey, who's using Chaos Kong? That's what I want to know ;)
- romanhn 12y agoChaos Monkey is great, but it may be more pragmatic to start by injecting failures manually, rather than through an automated process. We do this with Failure Fridays at PagerDuty - https://blog.pagerduty.com/2013/11/failure-friday-at-pagerduty/ https://blog.pagerduty.com/2013/11/failure-friday-at-pagerdu....
- bennetthi 12y agoReally interesting approach. Thanks for the resource.
