Resilience vs Robustness

We talk about resilience when we want to improve a system’s ability to avoid outages, handle failures gracefully when they occur, and recover quickly when problems happen.

Robustness is the ability to have a system that is able to react to expected variations, while resilience is having a system capable of adapting to things that haven’t been though of.

Resilience could include creating a culture of experimentation through things like chaos engineering.
