Widespread outage is exactly what something like chaos monkey is intended to help prevent. Even if this were chaos monkey induced (seems very unlikely), they've gained far more stability by having it than they would have lost in a single outage
- deelowe 8y agoThat's extremely speculative and impossible to quantify. There are plenty of counter examples where companies have impressive uptimes and don't resort to such extreme testing. Then again, attributing the outage to these chaos services is also extremely speculative at this point.
