Key Features

Chaos Engineering made easy: Steadybit provides an Experiment Editor that allows users to design and organize experiments. According to the vendor, users have full control over their experiments and can easily add new targets, attacks, and checks through extensions within Steadybit. The Experiment Editor also includes a unique discovery and selection process for picking experiment targets.

Reveal the Big Picture: Steadybit's landscape feature enables users to discover, understand, and describe their system's dependencies and relationships between components. The platform automatically and continuously discovers all targets in the system, including relevant properties. Users can choose from various visualization options to gain insights into their system's infrastructure and identify potential reliability risks.

Blast radius and access control: Steadybit allows users to control the chaos injected into their system by dividing it into different environments based on specific criteria. Users can assign specific environments to teams and users, preventing unwanted damages by restricting their access. Integration with SAML providers or OIDC providers ensures access control and authentication.

Add custom pieces and increase reliability: Steadybit treats extensions as first-class citizens, providing the flexibility to add custom pieces and enhance system reliability. Users can create extensions using their preferred development language. The vendor offers open-source extension kits for popular tools and platforms such as AWS, Datadog, Kong, Kubernetes, Postman, and Prometheus. Users can also develop their own discoveries and actions for custom targets using Steadybit's Kits.

Use our API to make experiments a part of your CI pipeline: Steadybit's API allows users to integrate chaos experiments into their CI pipeline, ensuring continuous verification of system reliability. The API provides endpoints for creating teams, configuring workspaces, and creating and running experiments. The CLI can be used to integrate Steadybit into the CD pipeline and create experiments as code. Users can automatically run experiments on build or deploy jobs, making reliability an integral part of their CI/CD process.
