NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Following our recommendation in the last radar to consider a focus on reducing mean time to recovery, we want to highlight Chaos Monkey from Netflix's Simian Army suite. It is a tool that randomly disables instances in the production environment during normal operation. When run with comprehensive monitoring and a team on stand by, it helps to uncover unexpected weaknesses in the system, which in turn allows the development team to build automatic recovery mechanisms ahead of time, rather than struggling to respond to an outage that caught everyone by surprise.
