Engineering, automation, and… chaos monkeys?  🤔🙊Amy Smidutz, Director of Delivery Engineering at Netflix, explains how breaking things during production helps increase resilience to failure. In this episode, you’ll learn how large companies like Netflix deliver content seamlessly to hundreds of millions of subscribers. Spoiler alert: it’s not what you might expect. Counterintuitively, chaos experimentation and breaking things during production can actually help reduce fail-overs for millions and improve resiliency to outages. You’ll hear about the importance of reducing blast radius, why regional failures can prevent large outages, and how automating away certain tasks reduces human error. ______________________________ GuestAmy SmidutzOn Linkedin 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-smidutz-a0310526On Twitter 👉 https://twitter.com/amysmidutz ______________________________ HostEllen XuOn ITSPmagazine  👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/ellen-xu ______________________________ This Episode’s Sponsors  ______________________________ For more podcast stories from Delta X Podcast With Ellen Xu: https://itspmagazine.com/delta-x-podcast ______________________________ Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships ______________________________ Want more?
