Very interesting indeed; but somehow I was even more baffled at the package names they seem to be using:

  com.netflix.vulturemonkey.cow.iguana.MacawSquirrel

  com.netflix.ape.serpent.vulture.ApeVultureMantis

  com.netflix.iguanas.monkey.insect.IguanaRabbit
Any idea what's up with that?

We really love animals! :-) JK. Just obfuscating class names with animal names before publishing the blog post.
Hehe! Thanks for the clarification -- I wondered if everyone was going bananas over at your company! This explains it (:
Still better than some unpronounceable old-norse names we had on a few projects. :-)
