Slack engineers turned a major incident into a powerful learning opportunity. When outdated backups caused Kibana dashboards to fail, they didn’t just fix the problem—they engineered a recovery test focused on improvement and resilience. Here’s how they did it:
What they did: Intentionally filled the disk on a development Kibana cluster to simulate a failure and test the new backup and recovery process, specifically the restoration of visualizations and indexes.
What they found: Significant flaws, including missing firewall rules, outdated runbooks, and a backup system that hadn’t been properly maintained, resulting in a two-year-old unusable backup.
What they achieved: Automated the recovery process with a new CLI tool for fast, reliable backup restoration, and updated the runbooks with clearer, step-by-step instructions for quick recovery during incidents.
The results? A fully operational system with streamlined processes and improved recovery time, saving valuable hours during critical failures.
The takeaway: Every system has hidden failure points. Break things intentionally, uncover flaws, refine your processes, and ensure that when disaster strikes, you're prepared for a swift recovery.
