Chaos engineering and testing challenges & solutions
the challenge

Cloud-Native Systems Are Complex Distributed Systems

As businesses look to get new digital services to market quickly and ahead of competition, it can be difficult to anticipate or recreate every possible condition to ensure proper functionality and performance.

Assuring individual service performance is not enough when dealing with distributed systems running at scale. When digital services interact with other services in a distributed system, you often get unpredictable and chaotic outcomes related to network reliability, bandwidth, latency, security, admin requirements and more. This can have a disastrous effect for users and IT service administrators.

What we do

Seamless Chaos Engineering with the Latest Digital Technologies

Apexon uses Chaos Engineering to help organizations build fault-tolerant and robust cloud-native applications to accelerate digital transformation. These services are an integral part of Progressive Delivery, based on the principle of experimenting with new functionality on distributed systems in order to test true performance.

It is essentially a controlled experiment for your digital services in production, building confidence in the ability of those systems to function properly in real conditions. This enables delivery teams to address weaknesses proactively, minimizing downtime, SLA breaches, and negative business impact.

Our expertise

End-to-end Chaos Engineering services

We help organizations build fault-tolerant and robust cloud-native applications to accelerate digital transformation. We currently focus on the following areas for Chaos Engineering:

FAQ’s – Chaos Engineering

Chaos engineering is a method of testing a system’s resilience by intentionally introducing disruptions or failures in a cloud environment. It helps to identify weaknesses and improve the system’s ability to recover from unexpected events.

Implementing chaos engineering can enhance system reliability, improve incident response, and identify hidden weaknesses before they lead to significant outages. It also helps teams better prepare for unexpected disruptions and minimize downtime.

Several tools are widely adopted in chaos engineering, such as Gremlin, Chaos Monkey, LitmusChaos, and Chaos Toolkit. These solutions enable teams to perform controlled chaos experiments that simulate potential failures across complex distributed systems, enhancing system resilience and reliability.

Chaos testing intentionally induces failures in production-like environments, while traditional testing focuses on ensuring that a system functions as expected under normal conditions. Chaos testing reveals vulnerabilities in real-world scenarios, improving system robustness.
