About Gremlin
Gremlin by Gremlin Technologies is a powerful incident management software designed to help organizations prevent and recover from disasters quickly and effectively.
Gremlin is a chaos engineering platform that helps software teams improve the reliability and resilience of their systems by intentionally injecting controlled failures into production or testing environments. Rather than waiting for unexpected outages to reveal weaknesses, Gremlin lets teams run experiments that simulate real-world problems such as service crashes, network latency, CPU spikes, or resource exhaustion so they can see how applications and infrastructure behave under stress. By proactively uncovering vulnerabilities, engineers can fix issues before they impact end users, build confidence in disaster recovery plans, and strengthen overall system tolerance to faults. The platform offers a library of “attacks” that can be configured with safety controls, scopes, and rollback options so experiments are deliberate, measurable, and limited in impact. It integrates with common monitoring, alerting, and incident management tools so findings from chaos experiments feed into existing workflows and visibility dashboards. Gremlin also supports collaboration and audit trails, helping teams document what was tested, what failed, and what improvements were made as a result.
Pros & Cons
- Allows for quick identification and resolution of incidents
- Helps in tracking and prioritizing issues effectively
- Provides real-time monitoring and alerts for potential incidents
- Helps teams identify weaknesses before they affect real customers.
- Pre-built experiments lower the barrier to getting started with chaos testing.
- Chaos engineering requires cultural buy-in and proper planning to avoid missteps.
- Pricing and detailed plan information typically require engagement with sales.
- Teams may need training to design meaningful and safe experiments.
- Not all types of failures can be simulated on every platform or environment.
- Smaller organisations with simple infrastructures may find the tool more than they need
Features
Key features
Lets teams run controlled “fault-injection” tests to uncover weaknesses in systems before they cause real outages.
Includes ready-made experiments like CPU spikes, memory pressure, network delays and service shutdowns.
Enables users to limit the scope of a test so only selected services or environments are affected.
Allows teams to schedule experiments or automate them as part of CI/CD workflows.
Works with monitoring and logging tools to correlate experiment results with performance metrics.
Additional features
A catalog of failure types that can simulate real-world issues like latency, service crashes and disk issues.
Built-in checks and safeguards to prevent experiments from causing major disruptions.
Provides templates to help teams design experiments without deep chaos engineering expertise.
Lets teams share results, notes and experiment definitions.
Produces reports that highlight system responses and help inform resilience improvements.
