Hi thanks for posting. I was wondering how many engineers are actively working on your search chaos monkey. In my experience it takes a lot of man hours to get something such as this up and running, especially taking into account stabilising the azure search product while bringing the automated functional testing up, stabilising the testing system, and then bringing the chaos monkey monkey up and stabilising all three (product, testing system and chaos system). Again thanks for the write up.

Hi, kabouseng. Right now, I'm the only engineer working on this. I mentioned this in a comment on the blog post, but the main reason I was able to put this together by myself and do it relatively quickly was that I was able to leverage pre-existing Azure Search infrastructure. We have great tools for monitoring clusters, a proven queue-based job process and a good deployment workflow. Not only does it make it easy to set up systems like this, but it also allows us to smoothly and efficiently manage an ever-increasing number of customer services. It's been a good investment for us.
