Do you think you are ready for your application to go live? Let us provide an objective evaluation with Chaos Engineering. Like a fire drill, game-day scenarios are operational events that can be triggered in a customer environment to test their Operational capability or Production readiness. The events asses the Customer's Operational Processes, Tools, and People involved in a "production-ready" environment. Game Days can be achieved by running intrusive scripts (test operational processes and troubleshooting), or by lowering alarm thresholds (test operational processes) and observing how teams respond and resolve issues in a controlled environment.
We always leave you with a recommendation. This offering is best when releasing a new product or migrating it to a new environment.
