summary

Describes a team-first chaos program that runs five phases — design, assess intent, prepare, run & learn, improve — and uses War Games (5–6 hour runs), Chaos Bash/Chaos Day (12–14 hour, red/blue/yellow rotations), staging + dogfooding and production, and AWS Systems Manager plus an internal orchestrator to inject failures. Gives concrete incidents found: feature‑flag service unavailable during scale‑up and autoscaling marking new nodes unhealthy. Produces categorized fixes (days, roadmap, RCA, play improvements) and measurable detection/response/recovery timings.
