redu.cloud vs chaos monkey. Resilience intro

A chaos monkey deletes real machines out from under a running Plausible deploy on redu.cloud, and an AI agent brings the service back each time. Not a simulation and not a sandbox: the VMs are gone and the billing is real.

  • Plausible AnalyticsThe open-source analytics app the agent deploys, with a managed Postgres and a managed ClickHouse of its own. Its live dashboard is what goes down and comes back.
  • redu-chaos-monkeyThe chaos tool doing the killing. MIT, dry run by default, kills only machines named in an explicit allowlist and re-checks the name at the moment of the kill.

Deploy it yourself

1. Connect the redu MCP:

claude mcp add --transport http redu https://mcp.redu.cloud/mcp --client-id redu-mcp

2. Deploy it: Deploy Plausible on redu with a managed Postgres and a managed ClickHouse, and turn on automated backups.

3. Then break it, and say: A machine just disappeared. Work out what broke and bring the service back.

Deploy your own.

Add the MCP, point your agent at any repo, and it ships to a real EU cloud. EU data residency by default.
