Two days of live sessions on how teams break their own systems on purpose, load them past the limit, and recover before customers notice. Chaos engineering, load testing, disaster recovery and AI agent resilience, with agents now running the tests, watching the results and fixing what breaks.

Six tracks
Every way systems fail, and how to find out first
Chaos Engineering
Experiments, GameDays and steady-state hypotheses, from first pod-delete to enterprise-wide programs.
Load & Performance
Load, soak and spike testing as a reliability practice, wired into the pipeline instead of run once before launch.
Disaster Recovery
Region failover, backup restores and RTO/RPO targets that have been tested, not just documented.
AI Agent Resilience
Tool failures, bad context and runaway loops. How to run chaos experiments against AI-driven systems.
Agentic Developers
Resilience for teams building with coding agents. Test generated code, guard pipelines and catch bad changes before production.
Resilience Culture
Getting developers, SREs and security to share one resilience practice, and keeping leadership on board.

Have a resilience story to tell?
We want stories and demos about chaos, load and disaster recovery testing. Pick a category to see what we are looking for.
Category 1 of 4
Open source success stories
Tell us how open source chaos and load testing tools work in real life.
What to cover
- How you use open source chaos and load tools, and what changed for your team
- What it takes to contribute to a project or maintain one
- Lessons from growing a community around a resilience tool
Sample title ideas
- From first pull request to maintainer
- Running open source load tests in CI
- What our chaos experiments caught before users did
Tracks
Category 2 of 4
Enterprise success stories
Share what you learned running chaos, load or DR tests at your company.
What to cover
- The problem, what you tested and what you found
- Results with numbers, and what you would do differently
- How you got other teams and leaders to adopt the practice
Sample title ideas
- Making load testing a release gate for 200 services
- What our DR drills taught us about failover
- Scaling a chaos program past the first team
Tracks
Category 3 of 4
New products, projects and technology
Show the technology working and explain the problem it solves.
What to cover
- A live demo or a deep look at how it works
- Where it fits in a resilience testing practice
- What is new and what is coming next
Sample title ideas
- A new way to inject faults into managed services
- Generating realistic load from production traffic
- Automating DR validation across clouds
Tracks
Category 4 of 4
AI agent demos and concepts
Show agents that plan, run or analyze resilience tests, or share ideas on where this is going.
What to cover
- Agents that design experiments, run tests or fix failures
- Concepts for how agents change resilience work
- Lessons on testing and trusting the agents themselves
Sample title ideas
- An agent that writes chaos experiments from an architecture diagram
- Letting an agent triage a failed load test
- Where agents should stop and ask a human
