    Hi @Pydi, Jaya Krishna Thanks for the question and using Microsoft Q&A foram.
    Apologies for the delay in response
    Chaos engineering in Azure goes above and beyond PostgreSQL or databases, as you are supposed to perform Chaos testing on entire applications\environments. In Azure, we just introduced a new service What is Azure Chaos Studio? | Microsoft Learn. can you please take a look if it might help you as this is the most advanced way to do Chaos in Azure.

    Regards

    Hi Geetha @GeethaThatipatri-MSFT
    Thanks for the response.
    At this point of time Azure Chaos Studio is not a mature service. It has limited fault scenarios and doesn't include postgresql service.
    In general we can perform replica failure, backup failure, latency & network corruption experiments on databases as a part of Chaos engineering.
    Can you suggest on how to perform above mentioned experiments on "Az Postgresql service" ?
