Overview
Gremlin provides a platform that helps businesses, especially financial services firms, keep their software reliable and available by running controlled experiments that simulate failures (chaos engineering). The product works by letting teams design and run disruptions in their systems, measure how the software and infrastructure respond, and track changes over time, all through a subscription-based service with different tiers. What sets Gremlin apart is its industry focus on financial services, its emphasis on continuous testing of both applications and infrastructure, and its Enterprise Chaos Engineering Certification (GECEC) program, which trains and certifies professionals in chaos engineering and builds a community around reliability practices. The company’s goal is to reduce the risk of customer-facing outages and performance problems, helping customers meet high availability standards, protect revenue, and improve overall user experience.
