Session Abstract

In the fast-paced world of software development, ensuring that your applications are resilient, reliable, and performant is non-negotiable. Join us for an engaging session where we dive into the realm of Continuous Validation and explore how to leverage two powerful tools within the Azure ecosystem – Azure Chaos Studio and Azure Load Testing – to fortify your deployments and enhance your confidence in application stability. During this session, you'll discover the art of injecting controlled chaos into your systems with Azure Chaos Studio, simulating real-world failure scenarios to uncover weaknesses and strengthen your application's fault tolerance. Learn how to design and execute chaos experiments that mimic network outages, server failures, and other disruptive events, all while maintaining control over the chaos. But resilience is only part of the equation. We'll also delve into the importance of performance testing with Azure Load Testing, uncovering how to simulate heavy user loads and measure your application's response under stress. Explore strategies for identifying performance bottlenecks, optimizing resource utilization, and ensuring your application scales seamlessly to meet growing demands. By the end of this session, you'll walk away with a comprehensive understanding of Continuous Validation principles and practical insights into implementing chaos engineering and load testing strategies with Azure. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your deployment confidence and deliver exceptional experiences to your users.
