Resilience Testing

Common Challenges & Technical Drivers

• Unexpected outages during seasonal traffic spikes that were never simulated prior to launch.
• Unverified disaster recovery procedures that fail during real production emergencies.
• Cascading service failures caused by unhandled third-party timeout and retry storms.
• Lack of automated regression testing for Infrastructure as Code changes before merge.

What Is Included (In-Scope Deliverables)

• Distributed load testing simulating realistic multi-step user transaction workflows.
• Chaos engineering experiments injecting network latency, packet loss, and pod terminations.
• Automated Terratest suites validating Terraform modules in temporary ephemeral environments.
• Disaster recovery failover simulation measuring real Recovery Time (RTO) and Recovery Point (RPO).

Scope Boundaries & Transparent Exclusions

• Compute and bandwidth infrastructure costs consumed during high-volume load tests.
• Application-level user interface browser automated testing (Selenium/Cypress).
• Fixing deep architectural defects discovered during testing (scoped into follow-up engineering).
• Testing against live third-party production payment gateways.

Tangible Engineering Deliverables

• Version-controlled load testing suites (k6 or Locust) integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• Chaos testing experiment definitions (Chaos Mesh or AWS Fault Injection Simulator).
• Comprehensive Load & Resilience Report with saturation curves, bottlenecks, and recommendations.
• Automated infrastructure smoke test suites executed after every deployment.
