Question

What problem does chaos engineering actually solve?

Answer

Most production systems fail in ways nobody predicted: a slow disk, a flaky network link, a single zone going down. Chaos engineering is the practice of injecting controlled failures into running systems so you find these weaknesses before users do. Instead of waiting for an incident to discover that your retry logic doesn't work, you delete a pod on purpose and watch what happens. The goal is not to break things. The goal is to learn how the system behaves under stress and fix the gaps you find.
