Chaos Mesh
Chaos Mesh is an open-source cloud-native Chaos Engineering platform designed for Kubernetes environments. It enables developers and SREs to inject controlled failures and disruptions into their systems to test resilience and identify weaknesses. The tool provides a rich set of chaos experiments, including pod failures, network latency, and I/O faults, to simulate real-world incidents.
Developers should use Chaos Mesh to proactively test and improve the reliability of their Kubernetes-based applications by simulating failures in a controlled manner. It is particularly valuable for microservices architectures, where complex dependencies can lead to cascading failures, helping teams build more robust systems and meet service-level objectives (SLOs).
