Chaos Engineering in Swansea

Deliberately introducing failure into Swansea 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 Swansea — 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 Much of what fails during an incident is the response — an out-of-date runbook, an alert nobody owns, an escalation path that leads to somebody on leave — and a scheduled exercise with the on-call team surfaces those without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 Swansea?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Swansea and the surrounding Swansea area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Swansea businesses do you usually work with?
Bilingual public-facing systems for institutional clients, and seasonal booking for the Gower tourism trade. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Tourism and Public Sector.
Do you cover the areas around Swansea?
Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Cardiff, Newport. Swansea is an urban area of roughly 240,000+, and we take on work across the wider Swansea region rather than the city boundary alone.
