Ask HN: Who uses Chaos Monkey?

The Chaos Monkey idea is amazing, but I haven't heard of many people using it besides Netflix.



Yes, but that doesn't answer the question, who is actually using it.


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?


I hadn't, so I just did. Thanks for the suggestion. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/simianarmy-users/59r...


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....


Really interesting approach. Thanks for the resource.


Forget Chaos Monkey, who's using Chaos Kong? That's what I want to know ;)


I use Chaos Monkey 3 times a day.
