Chaos Engineering in Ely
Deliberately introducing failure into Ely organisations' systems to find out how they respond — which is only worth doing once the ordinary failures are survivable. Breaking things in a system with no tracing and untested recovery does not produce learning; it produces an outage with a paper trail explaining that you caused it.
Why this comes up
The problem
An experiment took down a dependency in production and nobody could tell which services were affected.
What you get
What we deliver
- Readiness checked first — observability, alerting and a recovery path that has been used
- Each experiment framed as a hypothesis about what should happen
- Blast radius limited deliberately, starting in non-production and expanding slowly
- An abort condition defined before starting, and the means to stop quickly
- Findings turned into changes, since an experiment producing no fix has taught nothing
- Game days run with the on-call team, because response is what is being tested

Chaos Engineering in Ely — common questions
- When is an organisation ready for this?
- When it can already see what is happening and recover from something ordinary. If a database failover has never been tested and tracing does not exist, the useful work is establishing those — chaos experiments on that foundation reveal only that things break, which was not in doubt.
- Why frame experiments as hypotheses?
- Because that is what makes them experiments rather than incidents. Stating that the system should continue serving requests when one instance is lost gives a result to compare against — and if the prediction was wrong, you have learned something specific rather than caused a problem.
- Should this be run in production?
- Eventually, and not first. Non-production reveals the obvious failures cheaply, and moving to production with a small blast radius during a quiet period is how mature teams find the things staging environments cannot show — but that is a later step, not an entry point.
- What are game days for?
- Testing the humans. Much of what fails during an incident is the response — an out-of-date runbook, an alert nobody owns, an escalation path that leads to somebody on leave — and a scheduled exercise with the on-call team surfaces those without anything actually being at stake.
- Do you work with businesses across Cambridgeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Ely and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Ely businesses do you usually work with?
- Grower and packhouse systems handling seasonal labour, traceability and supermarket compliance requirements. Beyond that we work across Agriculture, Food Production, Tourism & Heritage, Retail and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Ely?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Cambridge, Peterborough, Norwich. Ely is an urban area of roughly 20,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cambridgeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
