How are you tracking reliability? "Reliability's not a binary thing. You're not reliable or unreliable, right? Like we always are chasing that next nine of availability, and we know it takes a lot, but that's not how the business sees it. Like the business is like, 'Hey, I'm paying money for something, and what is the return I'm getting on my investment?' If you're just tracking things like outage minutes, that's really a lagging indicator. It's a sign of where your reliability was previously. Because outages are things that happened in the past. Maybe you even resolved them, right? And so it's not something that's showing you how you're winning here. And so the real question that you know is belying this conversation is: How do we show—how do we communicate to the business how we're making improvements? How do we show that we're winning?" —Samuel Rossoff, Gremlin Principal Engineer

Thinking about integrating Gremlin into your existing pipeline? Look no farther than the Gremlin API. "The next step then was to build the right tooling such that the resiliency tests can be run from a pipeline. Gremlin's API first approach made it possible to do this in a very easy manner because everything that we could do from the UI and manually, we could replicate all of that through the API as well. Gremlin's APIs make it super easy to set up your attacks, scenarios, and experiments and invoke them at the right time." —Kaushal Dalvi, Sr. Principal Engineer, UKG

You're going to spend time fixing reliability—but it's your choice whether it's during an outage or ahead of time on your schedule and for less costs. Which will you choose? "We all know when things go wrong, it cost us a million dollars and it was really bad. Let's have that never happen again. But when we say, I need every engineering team to spend one hour, one day a week on reliability, does everyone lose their mind, or is that a reasonable request? Can we amortize out the cost of that? And that's actually how I view it is we're amortizing the cost. We can spend one hour a week up front, or once a month, we could lose two days to dealing with it. That's a net loss in time. So I think giving teams the ability to plan this work, to do this work, to invest in it, and then as we discussed, you have to reward teams for the right behavior." —Kolton Andrus, Gremlin CTO
