Good question! All of the network attacks have a whitelisting capability, to keep the host accessible. This isn't an issue with state attacks, as the client will come back online once the host reboots. And with resource attacks the client typically remains active, if your application is handling starved resources well.

Security is extremely important to us. Clients authenticate to our control plane either with a secret string or a certificate. Clients can be revoked at any point from our webapp and as well if the client loses communication to our control plane, any ongoing attack is halted.

Exactly! Chaos engineering is all about thoughtfully planned out experiments, to observe what the user experience will be when something fails. Doing this on your own terms allows you to improve the experience so that your customers aren't affected.

You can decide what happens when an in-flight request is dropped, whether you hold onto the state somehow and retry or the client could fail gracefully with a relevant error message.

Glad to hear it! Additional language support is top of mind. Node is up next and python is high on the list.

Regarding your app running in Fargate, you can do either. Hop over to our #support slack channel and we can help out more!
