Ask HN: Who uses Chaos Monkey? 5 points by bennetthi 11y ago ↗ HN The Chaos Monkey idea is amazing, but I haven't heard of many people using it besides Netflix.
[–] mtmail 11y ago ↗ Chaos Monkey: https://github.com/Netflix/SimianArmyintroduction: http://techblog.netflix.com/2012/07/chaos-monkey-released-in... [–] bennetthi 11y ago ↗ Yes, but that doesn't answer the question, who is actually using it. [–] mtmail 11y ago ↗ Sure. 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 email list? [–] bennetthi 11y ago ↗ I hadn't, so I just did. Thanks for the suggestion. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/simianarmy-users/59r...

[–] romanhn 11y ago ↗ Chaos 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-pagerdu.... [–] bennetthi 11y ago ↗ Really interesting approach. Thanks for the resource.
