Steadybit
Steadybit is a chaos engineering platform for teams assessing system reliability through controlled experiments and fault testing.
What Steadybit is
Steadybit is a chaos engineering platform for teams assessing system reliability through controlled experiments and fault testing. Teams can create experiments using a no-code editor and templates, then track runs in real time. Its Reliability Advice feature flags risks against best practices and suggests experiments and mitigations. Discovery locates targets and metadata, helping teams visualize and group system components. Fault injection and health checks cover network, resource, and application layers, with experiment scheduling and blast-radius controls also listed. Open source integrations include Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, GCP, Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, Kafka, and RabbitMQ. Extension Kits, ActionKit, and AdviceKit let teams build integrations and custom actions. Deployment options include SaaS and on-premises installations, including air-gapped environments. Teams, roles, and fine-grained permissions support controlled tests. Professional and Enterprise plans are available, but prices are on request. A 30-day free trial is offered; there is no free plan. The company is based in Solingen, Germany, and has designed reliability tools since 2019.
