Unleashing the Power of Chaos Engineering with Steadybit: Insights from Manuel Gerding

In a recent webinar, Steadybit's Product Manager Manuel Gerding explored how chaos engineering can improve system reliability, with specific focus on using AWS EC2 instances to introduce controlled disruptions and observe system responses. Gerding emphasized the importance of integrating chaos engineering into existing workflows through CI/CD pipelines, while cautioning about the complexities of scaling it organization-wide, such as error handling and access control. To address these challenges, Steadybit employs an agent-based approach using a centralized platform for managing chaos experiments, which enhances safety and integration by providing real-time insights and role-based access controls. This method allows for targeted and controlled chaos engineering, making it easier for organizations to adopt and scale these practices effectively to enhance system reliability.
