About This Webinar

The first private company to send humans outside the stratosphere didn’t get where they are today without failing forward – hard. In this talk from Gremlin Solutions Architect Jacob Plicque and Terazo Software Engineer Finnegan Hu, we’ll examine SpaceX as a case study in how enterprises can embrace failure and unlock new value through observing, monitoring, and collecting data, gaining the confidence, in their case, to launch humans into space. You’ll learn how your business can lean into failure and adopt chaos engineering principles to propel your business to new heights.

What You’ll Learn

• Using SpaceX’s journey as an example, you’ll learn to apply chaos engineering principles to view, understand, and learn from your data
• Learn how, through exploration of your internal systems, you can build better, more robust, hardened platforms that stand up under even the harshest of conditions or most high-traffic scenarios.
• Avoid costly downtime by planning for any scenario and stress testing your internal systems.
• Shorten development, deployment, and migration cycles by identifying weak points in your system ahead of launch.
• Build resilient products that customers love and deliver reliable experiences to end users.
