Using the Fault Injection Service
Use LocalStack Outages Extension to mimic service outages by testing your infrastructure’s ability to deploy robustly and recover from unexpected events.
Chaos Engineering
Chaos Engineering with LocalStack enables you to build resilient systems early on in the development phase.

The best way to understand concepts is through practice, so dive into our chaos engineering tutorials. Learn how to build resilient software by detecting potential outages with the Fault Injection Service, create a strong architecture through Route53 failover experiments, and simulate outages in your application stack .
Introduction
Chaos engineering via LocalStack is a method to enhance system resilience by deliberately introducing controlled disruptions. This technique takes different forms depending on the team:
- Software developers focus on application behavior and error response
- Architects concentrate on the strength of system design
- Operations teams investigate the dependability of infrastructure setup.
Integrating chaos tests early in the development process helps identify and mitigate potential flaws, leading to systems that are more robust under stress and can withstand turbulent conditions. Chaos engineering in LocalStack encompasses the following features:
- Application behavior and error management through Fault Injection Service (FIS) experiments.
- Robust architecture tested via failover scenarios using FIS.
- Consistent infrastructure setup under challenging conditions like outages, examined through automated provisioning processes.
