More Resilience, Less Overhead: How to Modernize Disaster Recovery Testing

Disaster recovery planning is essential for ensuring digital services remain online in the face of catastrophic failures or outages. When a major digital infrastructure outage occurs, systems need to be set up to automatically respond and restore functionality as quickly as possible.

But no matter how in-depth your disaster recovery plan is, it’s still only theoretical until it’s thoroughly tested under realistic failure conditions, which is why testing is often mandated by leadership and regulators.

Unfortunately, disaster recovery testing can be a complex, arduous process that consumes thousands of engineering hours and months of time.

It doesn’t have to be. By starting with resilience testing on individual teams and services, disaster recovery testing can become a systematic practice that takes a fraction of the time, integrates seamlessly into current engineering processes, and produces verifiable, auditable results for compliance.

Join Gremlin as we explore new approaches to disaster recovery testing in the world’s most resilient banks, retailers, and software companies that streamline testing and prove lasting reliability improvements.

You’ll learn:

• Where current disaster recovery verifications fall short and leave blind spots
• How to break down the most common catastrophic failures into systematic individual tests
• How to accurately simulate disaster scenarios organization-wide with a fraction of the lift
