Introducing Services in Steadybit to Enable Turnkey Reliability Testing and Risk Assessment
Blog post from Steadybit
Steadybit is enhancing its platform to help organizations improve system reliability through proactive testing and controlled chaos experiments, with the introduction of a new feature called Services. This feature allows teams to manage and prioritize reliability risks by providing a service-centric view that aligns with how modern software teams operate, particularly with the shift to microservices and agentic AI. By defining services within Steadybit, users can easily assess test coverage, run reliability tests, and identify critical business risks. The platform's agents automatically discover potential targets, and users can group them as services using a query language or UI. Integration with existing service catalogs via API is also supported, allowing for enriched context and prioritization based on business impact. Additionally, Service Profiles offer a structured approach to expanding testing coverage by organizing experiment templates into categories like Scalability and Redundancy. This new approach aims to connect chaos experiments to business outcomes more effectively, offering tools like ROI calculators to estimate savings from improved reliability. Steadybit invites users to explore these capabilities through a free 30-day trial and further engagement with their team.
