Quick background. Gremlin is the world’s first hosted Chaos Engineering service with a mission to help build a more reliable internet. It turns failure into resilience by offering engineers tooling to safely experiment on complex systems, in order to identify weaknesses before they impact customers and cause revenue loss.

Watch this video interview to learn more as Horgan dives in and talks about Gremlin's first-ever State of Chaos Engineering report that was just released. During the conversation, we explore some of the unexpected things learned from the report, and discuss which industries are adopting Chaos Engineering and which technologies people are running attacks against. Listen as Horgan explains why the return is worth it, versus not doing Chaos Engineering at all.
