What's inside?

  • An introduction to Chaos Engineering
  • How to improve reliability while reducing IT costs
  • How to mitigate the risk of system failures while increasing development velocity
  • How to proactively test for compliance and fix vulnerabilities before they become high-profile outages

With Chaos Engineering, you can confidently increase development velocity without risking system failures and outages.

In order to keep up with the rapid pace of digital transformation and provide innovative new services, teams must be able to push new changes quickly. However, legacy IT backbones, distributed system ownership, and compliance regulations can cause a bottleneck.

In this white paper, we explore how Chaos Engineering enables you to safely increase development velocity while proactively increasing reliability and mitigating risks of outages.

A new approach to reliability

Today's ephemeral and complex systems are a minefield of reliability risks, including unknown dependencies, misconfigured autoscaling, missing or broken redundancies, untested resilience hacks, and non-compliant architecture.

Gremlin is built to find and fix these risks so you can deliver the availability your users demand at the speed and scale of today's enterprise technology organizations.

Recreate incidents and outages

Run Chaos Engineering experiments and reliability tests safely and easily.
  • Uncover common availability risks using pre-built reliability tests.
  • Build custom Chaos Engineering experiments designed for your architecture.
  • Keep your systems strong with enterprise safety and security features.

Highlight your biggest risks to availability

Prioritize risks and communicate them across the organization to drive action
  • Use automated and repeatable testing to discover availability risks before they cause an incident.
  • Get actionable reports to prioritize risks and work across the organization to fix them.
  • Seamlessly integrate testing with your CI/CD pipeline and observability tools.

Build confidence in your systems

Continuously measure and improve your reliability, resiliency, and availability.
  • Align around standardized reliability scores to predict the availability of your systems.
  • Track reliability scores over time to create metrics that show your reliability posture.
  • Use dashboards and shared reports to prove reliability improvements to your organization.

How Gremlin works

Safely and easily inject faults to test your system

Gremlin uses Chaos Engineering principles to test the resiliency and reliability of your software.

By deliberately introducing stress or failure in a controlled environment, you can locate weaknesses and risks safely—and fix them before they impact your users.
