# Steadybit
> Steadybit is a **Reliability Operations Platform** that enables teams to proactively discover and mitigate system vulnerabilities through automated landscape mapping and integrated **chaos engineering** experiments. It transforms resilience testing from manual "game days" into a continuous operational standard by providing a no-code experiment engine and safety guardrails across multi-cloud environments. The platform bridges the gap between identifying architectural weaknesses and implementing automated reliability fixes at scale.
