Lets face it: Distributed computing is hard. The truth is that most systems and vendor solutions work great under regular conditions, but what separates them is what happens when things go wrong. If you’re building a mission critical distributed system, you need to take the time to build infrastructure to test for failure. In this talk we’ll outline how we think about testing a distributed system, and share some real world experience in ferreting out issues before they become problems in production. We’ll provide a hands on overview of our test framework and show you how you too can be prepared.
