Welcome to this two-part blog post series on chaos engineering best practices! In this series, I’ll be sharing insights and practical strategies that I’ve gathered throughout a decade of chaos engineering.

In Part 1, we’ll dive into the different modes of experimentation for chaos engineering — from the exploratory ad-hoc mode to the challenging continuous experimentation in production, I’ll walk you through each mode and highlight their unique benefits. Part 2 focuses on the essential best practices that I’ve found to be crucial for achieving success in chaos engineering.

Before we jump into Part 1, I want to take a moment to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to everyone who has been involved in the review and improvement process of this blog post. In particular Gorik, Rudolf, Seth, Elaine, Varun, Olga, Klara, Jason, Yilong, Alan, Laurent and Shllomi. Your valuable input, feedback, and suggestions have been instrumental in shaping the final version. I am truly grateful for your time, effort, and commitment to making this content the best it can be. It’s been a collaborative journey, and I couldn’t have done it without your support. Thank you all for your contributions.
