Pipelines have been critical in creating repeatable release processes to provide the ability for frequent deployments while ensuring quality. Pipelines have grown to incorporate automation for more and more of the manual quality gates including code quality checks, security checks, functional testing to name a few. The one area that pipelines don’t typically help is ensuring that your application will continue to run successfully if there are failures and/or under the stress of increased unexpected end-user load. Two new services in Azure, Azure Chaos Studio and Azure Load Testing can help you verify how your application will meet these non-functional requirements with every deployment to ensure not only will your application will work on a good day but it will be able to handle some chaos. In this talk, Mike will walk through the importance of identifying non-functional requirements, introduce chaos engineering to help ensure application resiliency, and walk through Azure Chaos Studio and Azure Load Testing services to show how to set these up and include them in your Azure DevOps pipelines or with GitHub actions.
