Creating Resilient Distributed Applications that Thrive in the Face of Chaos Monkeys

Chaos engineering - made mainstream by Netflix is a discipline of building and testing distributed applications to ensure it can withstand unexpected disruptions. Software built using chaos principles and tested by an army of chaos monkeys ensures systems can survive failure and temporary disruptions. In this talk, we will build a resilient distributed event driven application that can survive failures. We will then dive deeper into the architecture of such distributed applications, what makes them resilient to failures and how it helps with increase in business complexity without sacrificing developer velocity. Towards the end, we will take a look at Netflix Conductor and architecture principles of the platform that enables such distributed applications.
