Chaos experiment surfaces weakness

On-callReliability & on-callCode quality & reviewSenior–Staff~20 min

During a chaos-engineering experiment (deliberately killing an instance / injecting latency), the system behaved worse than expected and a real weakness surfaced. How do you handle it, and what's the value?

What a strong answer looks like

Stop the bleeding first (mitigate), then form hypotheses from real signals. Separate root cause from symptom, communicate status as you go, and close with what prevents a repeat.
