When AI Writes Your Code, Chaos Engineering Writes Your Insurance Policy
AI generates code faster than we can understand it. Chaos engineering reveals hidden failures, documents risks, and creates feedback loops to improve both code generation and operations.
Beyond Traditional Resilience
Resilium Labs offers a paradigm shift in resilience engineering, moving beyond rigid frameworks to embrace complexity, champion uncertainty, prioritize recovery, and implement elegant simplicity. This approach transforms resilience from a static state to an ongoing practice directly tied to business outcomes.
Transform Disruption into Competitive Advantage
Let's be honest; disruption is the norm, not the exception. Headlines regularly feature outages affecting banks, e-commerce platforms, entertainment providers, and airlines. Failure has become an everyday reality.
But what if I told you that these disruptions could actually become your competitive advantage?
Most executive conversations about resilience start in the wrong place. They begin with questions like 'How much will this cost?' or 'What's the ROI?' These questions fundamentally misunderstand what resilience engineering delivers.
Resilience is not about making money. Resilience is about not losing money.
This distinction is critical. Unlike features that directly generate revenue, resilience measures typically prevent losses that would occur during failures or outages. This prevention-focused value proposition requires a different calculation framework than traditional ROI models
Gamechangers in Resilience - Interview with Iluminr
Adrian shares key insights: resilience comes from controlled stress exposure, like Finland's sauna-to-ice tradition. Architecture reviews often miss component interactions and degradation patterns. Removing complexity (like an automated failover system) can improve resilience. Truly resilient teams embrace uncertainty, practice failures, and respond with curiosity instead of blame. He critiques root cause analysis frameworks for oversimplifying complex failures and advocates focusing on context rather than blame. Adrian notes resilience is cultural, requiring vulnerability and adaptability, while warning of the "prevention paradox" where successful prevention work becomes undervalued because disasters never materialize.
What is Resilience Engineering?
Resilience Engineering goes beyond traditional reliability by focusing not just on preventing failures, but on successfully adapting to them when they occur. With applications across software development, healthcare, aviation, and more, this 20-year-old discipline transforms how organizations approach risk and recovery.
