Launching Explorer - The Companion of Your Chaos Engineering Journey

Improving system reliability can be complex due to the intertwined nature of infrastructure components, making it challenging to predict failures and decide where to begin Chaos Engineering efforts. Steadybit introduces the Landscape Explorer, a tool designed to assist in navigating Chaos Engineering by automatically discovering infrastructure components, known as targets, and their attributes, which can then be used to plan and execute experiments. By visualizing these components, users can identify critical insights, such as which deployments span multiple availability zones or which infrastructure elements provide numerous API endpoints, allowing for targeted Chaos Engineering experiments. Additionally, business criticality is assessed through automatically discovered labels, aiding in prioritizing components that require high availability. The tool's ability to customize views and filter data enhances the precision of experiments, ensuring they are conducted efficiently and effectively. Steadybit's extensible framework allows for the integration of custom attributes, facilitating a deeper and more tailored exploration of system reliability, with plans for further enhancements based on user feedback and open-source contributions.
