post-mortems

danluu/post-mortems · ★ 12.6K

A curated collection of links to post-mortems — public write-ups of real outages and production failures, maintained by developer Dan Luu since 2015. Most entries are incidents at big tech: Cloudflare, Google, Facebook, Amazon, GitHub.

toxiproxy

Shopify/toxiproxy · ★ 12.4K

Toxiproxy is a TCP proxy for simulating network and system failure conditions (latency, downtime, bandwidth limits, packet loss, etc.) so you can test the resiliency of your application in CI, dev and test environments.

chaosmonkey

Netflix/chaosmonkey · ★ 17.2K

Chaos Monkey is a resiliency tool from Netflix that randomly terminates virtual machine instances and containers in your production environment, so engineers face failures often enough that they build services able to tolerate them.

The-Accidental-CTO

subhashchy/The-Accidental-CTO · ★ 3.9K

This is 'The Accidental CTO', a story-driven system design handbook by Subhash Choudhary about scaling the Dukaan e-commerce platform from zero to over a million stores without a formal CS degree.
