Great article by @yurynino on @InfoQ on how you need observability for chaos engineering and vice versa: https://t.co/MjMegnzkjl

Wow. That was pretty amazing! Did I say that?!? I do think that #legos are an invaluable tool for critical thinking! Love these conversations with @Julie_Gund and @gitbisect!

From a Google SRE principles point of view, it kind of reminded me a lot of what I learned at JPL: from redundant systems & automating everything, having the correct level of monitoring. @danisla https://t.co/2dRTO8QJ28

“We stress tested the hardware & did the same w/ situational awareness & ops. We simulated things that would happen during launch or the transit from Earth to Mars, & then see how the team reacted to those.” @danisla
