ChaosDrills

ChaosDrills is a web app (with optional lightweight desktop agent) that helps small-to-mid engineering teams practice resilience without needing a full-blown platform. It schedules and runs controlled “failure drills” (kill a process, throttle a dependency, inject latency, rotate credentials, simulate DNS issues) in staging or limited production scopes, then captures impact, recovery time, and runbook gaps. The app turns each drill into a repeatable checklist, assigns owners, and tracks resilience improvements over time (MTTR, blast radius, alert quality). It integrates with common tooling (Kubernetes, AWS, Slack, PagerDuty) and produces an executive-ready resilience scorecard that’s hard to fake. This is a combination traditional + AI app: AI summarizes incident timelines, proposes missing runbook steps, and flags weak signals (noisy alerts, single points of failure). It’s realistic: it won’t “guarantee” reliability—just makes practice measurable and routine.
