ORIGINAL TALK TITLE
Signs, Signs, Everywhere a Sign: What Five Man Electrical Band and Todd Conklin Taught Me about Chaos Engineering

ABSTRACT
Signs and Signals are all around us, they influence how we perceive and feel about the systems we interact with on a daily basis. Many of these signals are loud, or strong, a production outage, an angry customer, or a missed deadline. But there’s more to signals than just the ones we see or hear when something goes bang. Actively searching for and understanding Weak Signals is the key to creating the most productive Chaos Experiments. Weak Signals are small, barely noticeable, indications of new emergent behavior in the system. They’re the “tea leaves”, they trigger our gut feelings, and our hunches.
In this talk I will dig into the area of Chaos Engineering that I find most interesting, how do you decide [...]
