Conf42 Chaos Engineering 2026

About

Conf42 Chaos Engineering is a single-day online conference on the deliberate injection of failure into production and pre-production systems to establish confidence in their resilience. It forms part of the Conf42 series of free, fully remote technical events. Chaos engineering has matured from an experimental practice at a handful of large technology companies into a recognised reliability discipline with established tooling. The conference addresses that state of the field: designing and scoping experiments, blast radius control, failure injection in Kubernetes and cloud environments, game days and incident simulation, and the relationship between chaos experiments and observability infrastructure. Speakers are drawn from teams practising the discipline against real systems, which keeps discussion focused on the organisational prerequisites — buy-in, safety mechanisms, rollback — as much as the tooling itself. The remote format removes travel cost entirely, with recordings available after the live day. For site reliability engineers, platform teams and DevOps practitioners responsible for system resilience, this online conference offers a focused survey of chaos engineering practice in a single day.
