A curated list of Chaos Engineering resources.
A link aggregator for chaos engineering resources: tools, papers, books, talks, and community links. Not a framework or library — just a maintained list. Useful as a starting point if you're new to the discipline or hunting for something specific you half-remember.
- Broad tool coverage across ecosystems — Kubernetes (Chaos Mesh, Litmus, kube-monkey), JVM (Byte-Monkey, Byteman), AWS (failure-lambda, aws-chaos-scripts), and frontend (react-chaos, Chaos Frontend Toolkit) — saving a lot of initial research time
- Papers section is genuinely useful and not padded: includes the foundational OSDI14 'Simple Testing Can Prevent Most Critical Failures' and Lineage-driven Fault Injection, which are worth reading
- Distinguishes retired tools (Simian Army, ChaoSlingr) from active ones, which most awesome lists don't bother with
- Has a lychee link-checker workflow (.github/workflows/lychee.yml), so dead links are at least being monitored
- Last push was December 2023, and the chaos engineering tooling space has moved fast — Chaos Mesh, Litmus, and steadybit have all had major releases since then, and several linked resources are already stale or behind paywalls
- No quality signal on the links: a throwaway Medium post from 2018 sits next to a peer-reviewed USENIX paper with no differentiation
- Tool descriptions are copy-pasted marketing text, not honest assessments — 'An Easy to Use and Powerful Chaos Engineering Toolkit' tells you nothing useful
- No getting-started path for someone unfamiliar with chaos engineering — the sections are organized by format (books, tools, papers) rather than by what you'd actually need to do first
