Chaos testing is such an interesting idea. At my last job we didn’t have access to any of these tools. So I made a poor man’s chaos testing library for Java and spring services. At the application level we would inject random faults into method calls.

It doesn’t test nearly as much as the real tools can, but it did find some bugs in our workflow engine where it wouldn’t properly resume failed tasks.

No one has used this code in years, and its kind of half baked, but here it is https://github.com/Michael-Nolan/Public/tree/main/SimpleChao...
