Article: Implementing Chaos Engineering in Financial Payment Systems: Lessons from Enterprise ECS Deployments

Standard chaos engineering assumes experiments stop cleanly, blast radius is knowable in advance, and production is fair game. Payment systems violate all three. Salim Adedeji describes ECS-specific failure modes from enterprise deployments: a 60-second DNS TTL that produced 93-second failover, retry logic amplifying database load 2.4x, and AZ rebalancing loops that generic tooling misses.

Long-lived GCP service account keys are secrets that must be managed forever, are hard to rotate, and are easy to leak. Scaling Workload Identity Federation to 120+ production projects shows why it changes how machine identity is approached entirely: keys are secrets to manage, federated identities are trust relationships configured once, gated by attribute conditions.
