## Purpose

Formulate structured chaos engineering experiments to empirically test system resilience against infrastructure disruptions (network latency, pod crashes, database failovers, DNS outages).

## When to Use

- Validating high-availability claims prior to peak shopping events (Black Friday) or major launches.
- Verifying circuit breakers, retries, and fallback caches actually work under real network turbulence.
- Testing alerting thresholds and on-call paging during automated failure simulations.

## What to Analyze

1. **Steady State Hypothesis**: Measurable baseline metric representing normal operation (e.g., 99.9% 2xx responses, latency p95 < 250ms).
2. **Turbulence Variable**: Specific failure injected (e.g., 500ms latency to payment gateway, killing random Redis replicas).
