Summary:Systems and methods are described for injecting chaos into an application based on a determination that network traffic will be at the application when the chaos is injected. In an example, a gateway can receive requests for applications in a system. The gateway can be configured to periodically insert a header into an application request that causes a proxy agent associated with the requested application to request chaos instructions from a server. When chaos instructions are requested, the server can determine whether and what kind of chaos to inject into the application. The server can send instructions to the proxy agent, which can inject chaos according to the instructions. A monitoring agent can then monitor traffic around the application to determine whether other applications and system components behave appropriately in response to the injected chaos.
