Background

The most important aspect of maintaining a web service on cloud infrastructure is to make it resilient from failures. Most of these failures are unexpected and are not tested while development. The service which is capable of handling an unexpected failure passes the criteria of a resilient service.

YChaos provides a self-serving framework to inject these unexpected failures into your service in the form of YChaos Agents and understand if your service is equipped to handle unknown failures either within the service or from a 3rd party service dependency.
