The transition into more complex systems is accelerating and the granularity in serverless applications makes even smaller systems complex and highly distributed. Chaos engineering draws from the rich history of empirical experimentation to proactively discover vulnerabilities in these complex systems and help us verify whether or not the system behaves as expected under adverse conditions. Join as we raise the bar for how chaos engineering can be used with serverless applications and help us to continuously verify the output of the system through automation and the advantages established by CI/CD.
