Gremlin launches new tool for discovering common hidden risks in software

Detected Risks can help SREs find and fix common hidden risks that could impact reliability. It flags things that could potentially be failure points, and offers recommendations on how to resolve them. 

According to Gremlin, the hope with this new solution is that it empowers companies to transition from “reactive problem-solving to proactive risk mitigation.” 

Gremlin analyzed data from tens of thousands of systems that use Gremlin in order to determine the most common risks. For example, 26% of deployments had zero redundancies and 80% didn’t have two redundancies configured. 

These are some of the possible issues that Detected Risks would flag. It also tests for common miscounfiguration problems, including missing Kubernetes liveness probes and misconfiguration of autoscaling.  

“Reliability continues to grow in importance,” said Kolton Andrus, CTO and founder of Gremlin. “Our digital infrastructure is as important as our physical infrastructure. Government, healthcare, transportation, communication and finance all rely on this digital foundation, and it has risks. Fortunately, many of these risks are simple to mitigate—if they are known. That is why we are excited to announce our new Detected Risks. We have worked hard to quickly expose serious issues within our customers’ systems, risks that they can then mitigate to qualitatively improve the posture of their systems.”

It is currently generally available for all Gremlin users.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
