Summary

New Relic's observability platform is only as good as its ability to correlate spikes in dashboards with real system activity. Chaos engineering, a practice that simulates controlled experiments to uncover weaknesses in systems, can help identify issues before they become problems for users. When paired with New Relic, chaos engineering tools like Gremlin provide deep visibility into the behavior of systems under attack. A game day, a simulated emergency scenario, was used by New Relic and Gremlin to demonstrate the value of their platforms in identifying critical issues before they impact users. By using Gremlin to simulate real-world failure scenarios, customers can gain confidence in New Relic's monitoring and alerting capabilities and improve their incident response protocols.
