How Gremlin helps you meet Google's Infrastructure Reliability standards

In January 2023, Google released an infrastructure reliability guide for building high-availability applications on Google Cloud, offering valuable insights applicable to any cloud provider. This guide outlines the meaning of reliability in cloud computing, steps providers take to ensure reliable infrastructure, and how customers can manage factors affecting reliability on zonal, regional, and global bases. Gremlin plays a role in helping organizations meet these reliability standards through its Reliability Management solution, which offers pre-built tests to validate services against best practices from Google, AWS, and Azure. These tests help identify single points of failure, assess scalability, and test resilience against third-party dependency failures, culminating in a reliability score that provides an objective measure of service reliability. Gremlin also offers advanced testing capabilities with Fault Injection, allowing organizations to test various failure scenarios. This approach empowers teams to proactively address availability risks, ensuring reliability improvements are tracked and managed effectively over time.
