Methodologies for testing resiliency of server computer environments with greater security are disclosed. Access is provided to a subset of server computer resources to a client user within a distributed server computer platform to form the server computer environment. An ephemeral fault injector program is instantiated to implement a resiliency experiment within server computer environment. The ephemeral fault injector program is configured to self-terminate within the server computer environment upon completion of the resiliency experiment.

Error testing for computers using temporary, self-terminating fault injectors

The disclosure is directed to a topology recommendation platform that implements a method that includes receiving an original topology that indicates a first design for an application. The original topology is associated with a first resiliency score. The first design is associated with a set of functionalities for the application. A recommended topology is determined based on a model and the original topology. The recommended topology indicates an alternative design for the application. The recommended topology is associated with a second resiliency score that is greater than the first resiliency score. The alternative design is associated with the set of functionalities for the application. The recommended topology is provided. The original topology and/or the recommended topology is based on and/or encoded via one or more topology templates. The first design indicates a first set of components for the application. The alternative design indicates an alternative set of components for the application.
