May 2025 Summaries

Steadybit has introduced a new integration with AppDynamics, an application performance monitoring tool, enhancing its ecosystem with full-stack observability capabilities. This integration allows users to automatically validate AppDynamics health rules and include them in experiments to assess whether applications maintain their health during fault injections. Users can also recreate past incidents as experiments to simulate failure scenarios, ensuring that monitoring systems effectively detect issues. Experiment events are sent back to AppDynamics to provide contextual data, helping in understanding system behavior over time. By incorporating Steadybit experiments into the CI/CD process, organizations can maintain observability and reliability standards across new releases, leading to more resilient systems and improved on-call readiness. The AppDynamics extension is readily available in the Reliability Hub, with installation instructions provided in the GitHub repository, enabling users to quickly begin enhancing their system resilience.

Steadybit has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification, marking a significant milestone in demonstrating the company's commitment to system reliability, security, and operational readiness. This certification reflects a rigorous audit process that covered a wide range of categories such as data management, disaster recovery, employee training, and security monitoring. The achievement follows the company's attainment of SOC 2 Type 1 certification less than a year ago, and it underscores Steadybit's dedication to providing secure and reliable services to its customers. This certification not only serves as a testament to Steadybit's robust internal processes but also facilitates faster onboarding as a trusted vendor, aligning with specific evaluation criteria often required by clients. CEO Benjamin Wilms emphasized the importance of trusted partnerships and how this certification reinforces Steadybit's commitment to security, availability, and data privacy for its customers.
