ABSTRACT
This article introduces the concept of Autonomous DevSecOps with Self-Healing Pipelines, representing a paradigm shift in software security integration by combining chaos engineering principles with security operations to create resilient, secure, and self-remediating development pipelines. Through implementing the detailed ChaosSecOps methodology, organizations can architect, implement, and maintain these pipelines using AWS services and modern DevOps tools, as evidenced by a real-world financial technology platform case study that demonstrated remarkable improvements: an 83% reduction in mean time to recovery, 71% decrease in security incident response times, and successful regulatory compliance while establishing a new standard for operational excellence in secure software delivery—all while providing comprehensive implementation guidance, addressing common challenges with practical mitigations, and exploring future trends including AI integration, cross-pipeline intelligence, and enhanced human- AI collaboration in security operations.
