Once you have enabled the chaos endpoints and restarted the application, you can start testing using the endpoints.
+By default, when invoking a chaos endpoint, the web worker process which receives the request will handle it. This means, for example, that if the Kill
+operation is invoked, the Puma or Unicorn worker process handling the request will be killed. To test these operations in Sidekiq, the `async` parameter on
+each endpoint can be set to `true`. This will run the chaos process in a Sidekiq worker.
