Assumed Support vs Chaos Engineering

Developers should learn and use Assumed Support when building applications that rely heavily on external services, such as microservices architectures, cloud-based integrations, or APIs from vendors, to ensure high availability and user experience meets developers should learn chaos engineering when building or maintaining large-scale, distributed applications where reliability is critical, such as in cloud-native, microservices, or e-commerce platforms. Here's our take.

Assumed Support

Developers should learn and use Assumed Support when building applications that rely heavily on external services, such as microservices architectures, cloud-based integrations, or APIs from vendors, to ensure high availability and user experience

Assumed Support

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and use Assumed Support when building applications that rely heavily on external services, such as microservices architectures, cloud-based integrations, or APIs from vendors, to ensure high availability and user experience

Pros

  • +It is particularly valuable in distributed systems where network issues or service downtime can cascade, as it encourages robust error handling and contingency plans
  • +Related to: fault-tolerance, microservices-architecture

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Chaos Engineering

Developers should learn Chaos Engineering when building or maintaining large-scale, distributed applications where reliability is critical, such as in cloud-native, microservices, or e-commerce platforms

Pros

  • +It is used to validate system resilience, uncover hidden dependencies, and ensure fault tolerance before real incidents occur, reducing downtime and improving customer trust
  • +Related to: distributed-systems, microservices

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Assumed Support if: You want it is particularly valuable in distributed systems where network issues or service downtime can cascade, as it encourages robust error handling and contingency plans and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Chaos Engineering if: You prioritize it is used to validate system resilience, uncover hidden dependencies, and ensure fault tolerance before real incidents occur, reducing downtime and improving customer trust over what Assumed Support offers.

The Bottom Line
Assumed Support wins

Developers should learn and use Assumed Support when building applications that rely heavily on external services, such as microservices architectures, cloud-based integrations, or APIs from vendors, to ensure high availability and user experience
