In this clip from an AI roundtable with Gremlin, Nobl9, and PagerDuty, Mandi Walls talks about how AI is bringing AI engineers into incident response teams.
2025 was a stark reminder of why reliability is so critical in the tech sector. The year wrapped up with multiple high-profile outages across several major cloud providers, costing companies around the world billions of dollars. Building resilient systems has never been more of a priority, especially as we move into the era of agentic AI.
Failures will occur, but reliability testing helps us understand them instead of being surprised. Gremlin founder and CEO Kolton Andrus sat down with Stephen Townshend on the Slight Reliability podcast to talk about how!
Modern applications can easily include hundreds of discrete services, all of which need to be reliable in order for the application to function correctly. While running tests on a handful of critical services can lead to small reliability improvements, real impact requires testing and increased reliability visibility across your entire organization. That’s the logic behind the new, improved Reliability Reports within Gremlin.
Without reliability tests, you’re left in the dark about how your system will react to failures. It leaves you open to outages and prevents vital conversations that will help improve your reliability.
In this webinar clip, Alex Nauda, CTO of Nobl9, explains how LLMs are non-deterministic, which means you need to shift how you monitor the reliability of your AI systems.
On November 18, 2025, X, ChatGPT, Shopify, and many other major sites went offline simultaneously. Even Downdetector, Ookla’s popular outage tracking website, briefly went offline. What caused this issue? Why were so many major websites affected by it? And what steps can you take to reduce the impact on your own applications?
Chaos Engineering isn’t about breaking things. It’s about being thoughtful about failure to learn something. Gremlin founder and CEO Kolton Andrus lays it out in this clip from when he sat down with Stephen Townshend on the Slight Reliability podcast!
