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 PickDevelopers 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.
