Each episode takes a single concept — error budgets, toil automation, postmortem culture, capacity planning — and grounds it in a specific case: how a major streaming service reduced paging noise, how a payments platform rebuilt its incident command structure, or how a cloud provider manages multi-region failover. Lucas brings the numbers — latency percentiles, MTTR trends, SLO burn rates — while Luna pushes on the human and organizational trade-offs: What does a junior SRE need to know about on-call? How do you measure reliability without crushing innovation? Why do some blameless postmortems actually work? Together they treat SRE not as a certification topic but as a living practice, citing real outages, open-source tools, and engineering blogs. This show is for engineers, ops leads, and platform teams who already know the basics and want to debate the hard edges: Is 99.999% uptime always worth the cost? When should you deliberately degrade service to improve reliability? How do you design for resilience when your…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T22:18:41.635042+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923"},"episode":{"title":"How SRE Teams Use Chaos Engineering to Find Hidden Failure Modes","slug":"how-sre-teams-use-chaos-engineering-to-find-hidden-failure-modes","published_at":"2026-07-13T22:47:11+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923/how-sre-teams-use-chaos-engineering-to-find-hidden-failure-modes","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-site-reliability-podcast/episode-0109.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-site-reliability-podcast/episode-0109.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Site Reliability Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into chaos engineering as a proactive practice for uncovering hidden failure modes in production systems. They discuss how Netflix pioneered the approach with Chaos Monkey and how modern SRE teams use tools like Gremlin and Litmus to simulate failures — from CPU spikes to network partitions — in controlled experiments. The hosts explore the tension between running chaos experiments safely and the risk of unintended outages, sharing practical advice on starting small with low-blast-radius tests and using steady-state hypotheses to measure impact. They also touch on the cultural shift required: moving from a mindset of 'prevent every failure' to 'build systems that gracefully handle failure.' Listeners learn concrete steps to implement chaos engineering in their own teams. #ChaosEngineering #SiteReliabilityEngineering #SRE #FailureModeTesting #NetflixChaosMonkey #ProductionTesting #ResilienceEngineering #FaultInjection #Gremlin #LitmusChaos #SteadyStateHypothesis #BlastRadius #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Uptime #IncidentPrevention #Observability Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of The Site Reliability Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into chaos engineering as a proactive practice for uncovering hidden failure modes in…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":545,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923/episodes/how-sre-teams-use-chaos-engineering-to-find-hidden-failure-modes/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-site-reliability-podcast-with-fexingo-sre-uptime-and-production-engineering-7871923/how-sre-teams-use-chaos-engineering-to-find-hidden-failure-modes.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
