Steadybit wants to change the way outages are handled. Instead of reacting, Steadybit strives for a proactive approach integrated into the development cycle of modern applications.

Today's success of businesses depends on their systems' stability and reliability. Downtimes are painful: They cause you headaches, cost your business money, and lead to a loss of customer confidence.

Providing reliable services to your customers is essential to success. 

The interconnectedness of our world continues and interdependencies continue to increase. Today, it is unthinkable not to rely on solutions from the cloud, SaaS, or PaaS providers. The advantages of building on these solutions are simply too immense. With these interdependencies, a small local failure can cause a chain reaction or, in technical terms, cascading errors.

Despite the best efforts, the one sure thing about undesirable events like outages is that they will always occur. How we deal with them makes the difference - and we can even do so before they occur. Moreover, the complexity of today's systems is enormous and often not understood at first glance. That's why assessing the associated risk at any time is crucial. Engineering teams need to consider whether they can roll out new features or invest in stability - a balance between reliability and engineering velocity is key.

Steadybit wants to change the way outages are handled. Instead of reacting, Steadybit strives for a proactive approach integrated into the development cycle of modern applications.


Our solution

Steadybit is the first reliability engineering platform to go beyond Chaos Engineering. Organizations in the eCommerce, SaaS, and financial services industries, as well as organizations in the eCommerce, SaaS, and financial services industries throughout the globe choose Steadybit to roll out chaos engineering across their teams to foster a Culture of Resilience.

"We wanted more teams to do chaos engineering, so my goal was to ensure easy adoption. We were looking for something that our engineers could run experiments on that worked out of the box, had a good UI and was easy to deploy to Kubernetes," said Antoine Choimet, site reliability engineer, ManoMano. "Steadybit provides us with the ability to integrate with all of our tools, listen to our needs and rapidly integrate new features that enable chaos engineering at levels we did not think possible so far"

Steadybit provides everything an organization needs to make it safe and easy to bridge the gap between the experts (SREs, platform, and expert teams) and the developers. 

Developers use Steadybit for root cause analysis by modeling and replaying production incidents and to secure their application against resilience gaps and regressions by easily integrating chaos experiments into their existing test pipelines.

SREs, platform, and expert teams use Steadybit for safe and effective large-scale chaos engineering roll-outs by identifying weak spots, preparing and sharing experiments, defining resilience policies, and precisely controlling the blast radius of all chaos engineering activities.
