The Chaos Monkey idea is amazing, but I haven't heard of many people using it besides Netflix.

Yes, but that doesn't answer the question, who is actually using it.

Sure. I didn't claim it does. I added links so the next person doesn't have to guess too long what Code Monkey stands for. Did you email the https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/simianarmy-users email list?

Forget Chaos Monkey, who's using Chaos Kong? That's what I want to know ;)

Chaos Monkey is great, but it may be more pragmatic to start by injecting failures manually, rather than through an automated process. We do this with Failure Fridays at PagerDuty - https://blog.pagerduty.com/2013/11/failure-friday-at-pagerdu....

Really interesting approach. Thanks for the resource.
