Net flix embracingfailure re-invent2014-141113085858-conversion-gate02~Eric Principe
This document discusses Netflix's approach to embracing failure through fault injection testing. Netflix has over 50 million members across 50+ countries and streams over 1 billion hours of content per month. To ensure high availability, Netflix designs its complex distributed systems for failure by implementing exception handling, fault tolerance, fallbacks, auto-scaling, and redundancy. However, testing failures at such a large scale is challenging. Netflix developed several "monkey" tools that randomly inject failures like instance reboots or availability zone outages to validate system resilience. More advanced tools like Fault Injection Testing (FIT) allow simulating specific failure scenarios by injecting errors or latency at various points. This helps Netflix continuously validate assumptions and discover issues to further improve availability.
