Power Level 9000! Improving Application Performance with Chaos Engineering
summary
Deploys a k3s cluster on Civo, installs Litmus 2.0, Prometheus, Grafana and a Blackbox exporter, then wires Flux + GitHub Actions to trigger chaos on each deploy. A pod network-loss experiment runs as a Litmus workflow, writes results to Git, and Flux reapplies manifests so chaos runs continuously; Grafana shows the exact chaotic window (red area) and the workflows report success.
