Our verdict on Reliably
Reliably is a resilience engineering platform for software and operations teams that need to plan, run, schedule, and review Chaos Toolkit experiments. Its experiment builder, reusable templates, JSON import, execution journals, timelines, scoring, and dashboards provide a guided management layer for cloud, Kubernetes, application, and machine experiments. It also includes Reliably Assistant for AI-assisted experiment creation, plus controls to pause, resume, or terminate executions.
Pricing is structured as a freemium model. The Free plan costs £0 monthly and includes one team member, unlimited custom and GitHub executions, 180 cloud execution minutes per month, five custom experiments, and one custom template. Start costs £40 per month and adds three team members, 300 cloud execution minutes per month, unlimited custom experiments, and three custom templates while retaining unlimited custom and GitHub executions. Scale costs £330 per month and includes five or more team members, unlimited cloud executions, unlimited custom experiments, and 10 custom templates. Enterprise includes unlimited team members, unlimited cloud executions, unlimited custom experiments and templates, a support SLA, and private SaaS or on-premises installation.
Its platform fit is broad: experiments can run through Reliably Cloud, CI/CD workflows, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, or the Reliably CLI. Integrations with Honeycomb, Grafana, and Slack extend reporting and notification workflows. Cloud and Kubernetes fault injection, network failure injection, CRON scheduling, and blast-radius controls make it suited to teams formalizing recurring resilience work across environments. Teams wanting guided experiment management and multiple deployment models should consider Reliably; teams seeking only a narrow fault-injection utility may prefer a simpler tool.
