Summary

Gremlin has introduced a range of new features and improvements designed to enhance reliability testing and Chaos Engineering practices as the year 2023 concludes. Among these updates are the ability to conduct Chaos Engineering experiments in serverless environments, create custom reliability test suites, and improve the identification of critical components within a system. The launch of Failure Flags, now widely available, allows users to run fault injection experiments at the application layer on platforms like Kubernetes and AWS Lambda, helping teams test software performance under adverse conditions without altering infrastructure. Gremlin's Detected Risks feature now automatically integrates into reliability scores, flagging potential issues and encouraging proactive fixes. Additionally, improvements to Scenarios allow for more complex test executions, and CI/CD integration has been streamlined to include reliability scores in workflows. Updates to the Gremlin agent enhance fault detection, communication, and logging, with specific optimizations for Kubernetes environments. These advancements aim to empower users to identify and address availability risks more effectively, with the platform offering a free trial for new users to explore its capabilities.
