The Chaos Monkey idea is amazing, but I haven't heard of many people using it besides Netflix.

Yes, but that doesn't answer the question, who is actually using it.

Sure. I didn't claim it does. I added links so the next person doesn't have to guess too long what Code Monkey stands for. Did you email the https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/simianarmy-users email list?

Chaos Monkey is great, but it may be more pragmatic to start by injecting failures manually, rather than through an automated process. We do this with Failure Fridays at PagerDuty - https://blog.pagerduty.com/2013/11/failure-friday-at-pagerdu....

Forget Chaos Monkey, who's using Chaos Kong? That's what I want to know ;)
