Modern IT infrastructure demands high availability, robustness, and fault tolerance, especially in distributed cloud-native systems. As digital ecosystems grow increasingly complex, traditional manual recovery mechanisms prove insufficient. This paper investigates how Chaos Engineering combined with automated recovery protocols enhances system resilience by proactively identifying vulnerabilities and swiftly recovering from disruptions. We explore recent advancements, methodologies, and implementations, illustrating their effectiveness in real-world deployments. Through the integration of controlled fault injection and intelligent self-healing mechanisms, organizations can achieve near-zero downtime and ensure operational continuity even in adverse scenarios.
