The Evolution of Observability and Monitoring panel discussion Failover Conf 2021

Apr 28, 2021 By Gremlin In Gremlin
Observability and monitoring are critical to detecting and troubleshooting problems to build more reliable applications. As our systems become increasingly complex, our tools for getting this crucial visibility and the way we respond need to evolve too. We'll sit down with SRE leaders to discuss the processes they use to get the most insight into their applications, how they've increase the speed of detection and response, and what organizations need to do to stay on top of growing complexity.

Leaving the Nest: Guidelines, guardrails, and human error by Laura Santamaria Failover Conf 2021

Apr 28, 2021 By Gremlin In Gremlin
When we talk about reliable systems, we talk a lot about human error. Human error in an incident or a bug report is often treated with a bit of a facepalm reaction. The term masks a lot of scenarios from accidents to exhaustion to everything in between. However, human error helps us understand where our processes failed and how we can prevent the same error from happening again. In short, we need to think in terms of a framework of guidelines and guardrails. In this short talk, let’s discuss how guidelines like runbooks and guardrails like automation can help us address the fact that everyone will, at some point, make mistakes.

Implementing DevSecOps in the DoD by Nicolas Chaillan Failover Conf 2021

Apr 28, 2021 By Gremlin In Gremlin
Delivering software quickly and securely is important for every organization, but it's even more important at the US Department of Defence (DoD) where reliability directly impacts national security. Nicolas Chaillan (Chief Software Officer, US Air Force) will discuss the DoD Enterprise DevSecOps Initiative—an initiative he leads along with the DOD’s Chief Information Officer that brings automated software tools, services and standards to DoD programs. He'll also share about Platform One, the Air Force's DoD-wide DevSecOps Enterprise Level Service that provides managed IT services capabilities, on-boarding, support, and baked-in zero trust security. This insight from operating at the most rigorous level will help you level up your own organization.

Announcing Services Discovery for tracking and improving service reliability

Apr 27, 2021 By Matt Schillerstrom In Gremlin

Gremlin helps teams proactively improve the reliability of their systems by running chaos experiments on infrastructure including hosts, containers, and Kubernetes clusters. But as microservice-based architectures and automated cloud platforms become the norm, engineers are shifting their focus from managing infrastructure to managing services. In order to keep these services as resilient as possible, they need tools that can help them find failure modes, reduce incidents, and improve availability.

How Netflix Uses Fault Injection To Truly Understand Their Resilience

Apr 6, 2021 By Thomas Russell In Coralogix

Distributed systems such as microservices have defined software engineering over the last decade. The majority of advancements have been in increasing resilience, flexibility, and rapidity of deployment at increasingly larger scales. For streaming giant Netflix, the migration to a complex cloud based microservices architecture would not have been possible without a revolutionary testing method known as fault injection. With tools like chaos monkey, Netflix employs a cutting edge testing toolkit.
