Team and culture:
Every chaos experiment starts with a hypothesis: "We believe that if [failure X occurs], the system will [expected behavior Y]." Without a hypothesis, you are just breaking things. The hypothesis names concrete steady-state metrics (baseline metrics) — error rate, latency, throughput — and the bound each may move to.
Example hypothesis: "We believe that if the primary database becomes unavailable, the application will serve cached data for read requests and queue write requests for up to 5 minutes without user-visible errors. Blast radius: staging, one service. Steady-state baseline: error rate <0.1%, P95 latency <300ms."
The first chaos experiment should not be "shut down production." It should be "add 200ms latency to one non-critical service in staging." Increase scope gradually as confidence and tooling mature.
If you cannot detect problems in real time, you cannot safely inject failures. Chaos experiments without monitoring are just outages with extra steps. Verify dashboards, alerts, and on-call processes before running any experiment.
Running chaos experiments in automated pipelines is valuable, but game days -- scheduled sessions where the team runs experiments together and practices response -- build the human skills that matter during real incidents.
Every chaos experiment follows this five-step process.
Identify the metrics that define "normal" and predict what should happen during the experiment.
Experiment: Database failover
Steady state:
- Error rate: < 0.1%
- P95 latency: < 300ms
- Successful orders per minute: > 50
Hypothesis: When the primary database fails over to the replica,
- Error rate will spike to < 2% for < 30 seconds
- P95 latency will increase to < 1s for < 60 seconds
- No orders will be permanently lost
- The application will recover without manual intervention
Inject the failure in a controlled way with a clear scope and duration.
Injection:
Target: primary database (PostgreSQL)
Method: block TCP port 5432 on the primary instance
Scope: single database instance
Duration: 60 seconds
Blast radius: staging environment only (first run)
Abort conditions:
- Error rate > 10% for > 2 minutes
- Any data corruption detected
- Manual abort by experiment owner
During the experiment, monitor all relevant metrics in real time. Assign observers to specific dashboards.
Observation assignments:
- Engineer A: application error rate and latency dashboard
- Engineer B: database metrics (connections, replication lag, failover status)
- Engineer C: application logs (search for database connection errors)
- Engineer D: business metrics (order count, payment processing)
After the experiment, analyze what happened versus what was expected.
Analysis checklist:
- Did the system behave as hypothesized? (Y/N, with details)
- How long was the impact? (Expected vs. actual duration)
- Were any errors visible to users?
- Was any data lost or corrupted?
- Did monitoring and alerting detect the problem correctly?
- How long before alerts fired?
- What was the recovery time?
Document findings, fix resilience gaps, and schedule a re-run to verify the fix.
Findings document:

Avoid: Chaos Monkey (Netflix) for new projects — low activity, Spinnaker-only path (as of mid-2026). It still works and the repo is not archived, but it only injects instance termination and requires a Spinnaker deployment pipeline. Greenfield work should pick Chaos Mesh, LitmusChaos, or AWS FIS. (The older SimianArmy repo was archived in 2021; don't confuse the two.)
Decision tree:
Running on Kubernetes?
→ Cloud-managed AWS workloads: AWS FIS (cloud-native, IAM-integrated)
→ On K8s with sidecar tolerance: Chaos Mesh (eBPF, fine-grained)
→ On K8s wanting workflows + UI: LitmusChaos (ChaosCenter, Workflows)
→ On K8s lightweight: kube-monke

<objective>
Chaos engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a system to build confidence in its ability to withstand turbulent conditions. It is not random destruction -- it is hypothesis-driven, controlled experimentation that reveals weaknesses before they cause outages. A retry that "works in the demo" silently double-charges customers when the payment API times out; the only way to know is to inject the timeout and watch.
</objective>

## Discovery Questions
Check `.agents/qa-project-context.md` first. If it exists, use it as context and skip questions already answered there.
**Environment and readiness:**
- Where will chaos experiments run? (Pre-production only, production with approval, never production)
- What is the team's monitoring maturity? Can you detect problems in real time?
- Has the team practiced incident response? Is there a runbook?
- Is there executive buy-in for chaos engineering? (Important for production experiments)
**Architecture:**
- What is the architecture? (Monolith, microservices, serverless, hybrid)
- What are the critical dependencies? (Database, cache, message queue, third-party APIs)
- Are there single points of failure? (Single database, single region, no redundancy)
- What redundancy and failover mechanisms exist?
**Current resilience practices:**
- Do services have health checks? What do they check?
- Are there circuit breakers, retry logic, or timeout configurations?
- What happens when a dependency is unavailable? (Graceful degradation, hard failure, unknown)
- Have you experienced unexpected outages? What failed?
**Team and culture:**
- Is the team comfortable with controlled failure? (Anxiety is normal and should be addressed)
- Who would be the chaos engineering champion? (Needs someone to own the practice)
- What is the appetite for starting? (Start small or dive in)

## Core Principles
### 1. Hypothesis-driven: define expected behavior before injecting
Every chaos experiment starts with a hypothesis: "We believe that if [failure X occurs], the system will [expected behavior Y]." Without a hypothesis, you are just breaking things. The hypothesis names concrete steady-state metrics (baseline metrics) — error rate, latency, throughput — and the bound each may move to.
Example hypothesis: "We believe that if the primary database becomes unavailable, the application will serve cached data for read requests and queue write requests for up to 5 minutes without user-visible errors. Blast radius: staging, one service. Steady-state baseline: error rate <0.1%, P95 latency <300ms."
### 2. Start small: one service, controlled blast radius
The first chaos experiment should not be "shut down production." It should be "add 200ms latency to one non-critical service in staging." Increase scope gradually as confidence and tooling mature.
### 3. Monitoring is a prerequisite
If you cannot detect problems in real time, you cannot safely inject failures. Chaos experiments without monitoring are just outages with extra steps. Verify dashboards, alerts, and on-call processes before running any experiment.
### 4. Game days build muscle memory
Running chaos experiments in automated pipelines is valuable, but game days -- scheduled sessions where the team runs experiments together and practices response -- build the human skills that matter during real incidents.

## Chaos Experiment Workflow
Every chaos experiment follows this five-step process.
### Step 1: Define steady state hypothesis
Identify the metrics that define "normal" and predict what should happen during the experiment.
```
Experiment: Database failover
Steady state:
- Error rate: < 0.1%
- P95 latency: < 300ms
- Successful orders per minute: > 50
Hypothesis: When the primary database fails over to the replica,
- Error rate will spike to < 2% for < 30 seconds
- P95 latency will increase to < 1s for < 60 seconds
- No orders will be permanently lost
- The application will recover without manual intervention
```
### Step 2: Introduce the variable
Inject the failure in a controlled way with a clear scope and duration.
```
Injection:
Target: primary database (PostgreSQL)
Method: block TCP port 5432 on the primary instance
Scope: single database instance
Duration: 60 seconds
Blast radius: staging environment only (first run)
Abort conditions:
- Error rate > 10% for > 2 minutes
- Any data corruption detected
- Manual abort by experiment owner
```
### Step 3: Observe
During the experiment, monitor all relevant metrics in real time. Assign observers to specific dashboards.
```
Observation assignments:
- Engineer A: application error rate and latency dashboard
- Engineer B: database metrics (connections, replication lag, failover status)
- Engineer C: application logs (search for database connection errors)
- Engineer D: business metrics (order count, payment processing)
```
### Step 4: Analyze recovery and data integrity
After the experiment, analyze what happened versus what was expected.
```
Analysis checklist:
- Did the system behave as hypothesized? (Y/N, with details)
- How long was the impact? (Expected vs. actual duration)
- Were any errors visible to users?
- Was any data lost or corrupted?
- Did monitoring and alerting detect the problem correctly?
- How long before alerts fired?
- What was the recovery time?
```
### Step 5: Fix and iterate
Document findings, fix resilience gaps, and schedule a re-run to verify the fix.
```
Findings document:
Experiment: Database failover (2026-03-20)
Hypothesis: Confirmed / Partially confirmed / Disproved
Recovery time: 45s (expected vs actual: expected <10s, actual 45s)
Data integrity: no rows lost; 3 writes returned 500 instead of queueing
Findings:
- Connection pool did not detect stale connections for 45 seconds (expected: <10s)
- Retry logic worked correctly for read operations
- Write operations returned 500 errors for 38 seconds (expected: queued)
Action items (every one has an owner and a due date — no item is deferred):
- [ ] Configure connection pool health checks — assigned to @maria, due 2026-03-31
- [ ] Implement write queue with 5-minute buffer — assigned to @dan, due 2026-04-02
- [ ] Re-run experiment after fixes deployed (re-run scheduled 2026-04-03);
specific metrics to check on re-run: stale-connection detection <10s,
zero write 500s, error rate <2%
```
