Distributed applications excel at blowing up spectacularly at 3:00 AM. Since we’re people of action, it’s up to us to build systems that don't keel over.

In this hands-on workshop, we'll apply principles of chaos engineering to stress a sample .NET distributed application running in a containerized environment, examining how it behaves.

We will:
- Analyze system workflows and identify potential failure points
- Make use of observability tooling, like OpenTelemetry and the Grafana LGTM stack, to further inspect system flows
- Experiment and observe how specific faults, like latency or crashes, impact the system
- Evaluate and apply typical patterns to improve the system's resiliency

In summary, we'll poke the bear in a controlled environment, so you have the skills to survive when you meet it in the wild.

This is a workshop session.

Currently designed to require Git, .NET 10 SDK, Docker & Docker Compose.

The target audience is any software engineer or architect that wants to improve knowledge around distributed systems, resiliency and troubleshooting.
