See how easy it is to test and manage serverless reliability with Failure Flags.

See your true application-level reliability

Measure, manage, and improve the reliability of your applications without having to change application code. Gremlin Failure Flags gives engineering teams visibility into application-level failures so they can measure, manage, and improve reliability without impacting application code.

Get visibility into your managed applications

  • Run application-level reliability tests, even on managed services, without any code changes.
  • Uncover reliability risks that infrastructure-level testing can’t detect.
  • Get predictive reliability metrics for application-level failures instead of using backwards-facing data.

Scale reliability throughout your software stack

  • Run application and infrastructure-level tests for full-stack coverage.
  • View real-time application reliability metrics including throughput, errors, and latency.
  • Bundle application and infrastructure tests for a single, comprehensive reliability testing harness.

Standardize reliability across your organization

  • Tests your applications against common failure modes using pre-built and custom-built tests.
  • Standardize your teams’ testing practices with shared test suites.
  • Track application reliability alongside infrastructure reliability for full-stack coverage and reporting.

Test what matters most

Latency Introduce delays and jitter into network traffic to test your application’s response times and blocking behaviors.
Exceptions Simulate errors found in production, trigger specific error-handling methods, and test your function’s ability to recover from faults.
Data integrity Test your application’s ability to handle malformed or unexpected data.
Bring your own Add custom code branches that only run when a test is active. Run a stress test, inject application-specific error codes, start performance tests—you have full control.

How does Failure Flags work?

  1. The Failure Flags sidecar runs alongside your application code. Application network traffic is proxied through the container.
  2. When you run a Gremlin test, the sidecar applies the test impact to your traffic to simulate latency, errors, outages, and other failure modes.
  3. The Failure Flags sidecar reports application metrics back to Gremlin, giving you direct visibility into reliability before, during, and after the test.
