Steadybit introduces a new Query Language to enhance the filtration of targets for experiments within complex environments, complementing the existing query UI on their platform. This tool allows users to create detailed queries using key-value pairs, enabling the precise selection of hosts, containers, networks, and more for experimentation purposes. The Query Language provides advanced capabilities, such as chaining expressions with operators like AND and OR, building logical blocks with parentheses, and negating expressions to exclude certain targets. While the visual query UI aids in simpler query creation for beginners, the Query Language offers a textual representation for more complex use cases, allowing for easy sharing and integration into various knowledge bases or communication platforms. This innovation provides users with maximum flexibility and control over their experimental setups, facilitating a more dynamic and robust management of their deployment landscapes.

Steadybit aims to revolutionize outage management by shifting from a reactive to a proactive approach, integrating resilience engineering into modern application development cycles. Recognizing the critical importance of system stability and reliability in today's interconnected world, Steadybit positions itself as the first reliability engineering platform to extend beyond traditional Chaos Engineering. Serving industries such as eCommerce, SaaS, and financial services, Steadybit facilitates the adoption of chaos engineering across teams, promoting a Culture of Resilience. The platform enables developers to conduct root cause analyses and secure applications against resilience gaps by integrating chaos experiments into existing test pipelines, while SREs and expert teams use it for large-scale, safe chaos engineering rollouts. Backed by investors like boldstart ventures, Steadybit addresses real-world software system challenges, offering organizations the tools to balance reliability with engineering velocity effectively.
