Resilience at the speed you ship.

Keep shipping. Avoid downtime.

AI helps you ship faster. Respawn finds and fixes the resilience and reliability gaps entropy leaves behind. A secret that never replicated, a hot-fix the next deploy undid, a service with nowhere to fail over. Catch the gaps before an outage makes them expensive. Get the confidence you need to go fast.

Continuous, proactive cloud resilience.

Get the confidence to move fast. Respawn takes the resilience and reliability busywork off your plate.

  1. 01

    Map

    A living dependency graph of your critical apps and infra.

    Respawn builds a continuously updating model of each critical app: every role, key, secret and pipeline it depends on, in every region it runs in.

    Access is one read-only IAM role, deployed with CloudFormation. Respawn reads configuration only, never your databases, buckets or secret values.

    Simulate Scenarios

    Proactive simulations for every resilience scenario.

    Respawn runs simulations in an isolated sandboxed environment in your own AWS account. It recovers your app the way you would in an outage, times it against your RTO for thousands of resilience scenarios and determines the scenarios you currently survive and the ones you don't.

    Production is never touched.

  3. 03

    Find

    Every change, checked against the recovery path.

    When something changes, whether it’s a merged pull request, a Terraform apply or a click in the console, Respawn checks how it impacts your ability to survive failure. Gaps show up in plain words, ranked by the risk scenarios you care about: what breaks, why, and what fixes it.

    When Respawn needs more context, it asks your team a yes-or-no question instead of guessing.

    Fix

    The fix arrives as a pull request.

    Respawn writes the fix as a Terraform change and opens a pull request. Your CI runs, your engineers review, and nothing applies until you merge.

    After the merge, Respawn re-tests to confirm the gap is closed.

CriticalRegion outage

If us-east-1 is lost, Checkout goes down.

db-credentials was never copied to us-west-2.

Fix: PR replicates the secret

HighService outage

If DynamoDB fails in us-east-1, Login stops.

The sessions table isn’t a global table.

Fix: PR adds a global table

HighConfig drift

If you fail over, Orders won’t start.

A Terraform deploy undid a console fix to its IAM role.

Fix: PR adds the fix to Terraform

HighNew service

If us-east-1 is lost, Search has nowhere to go.

It shipped last week with no replica in us-west-2.

Fix: PR adds us-west-2 config

HighAZ outage

If use1-az1 fails, Payments goes down.

payments-db is single-AZ, with no standby.

Fix: PR turns on Multi-AZ

ModerateRebuild from backup

If you restore from backup, Reporting misses its RTO.

Snapshots are only copied within us-east-1.

Fix: PR adds a cross-region copy

recovery fails in chains.

your environment changed today… a lot.

a secret expires.
a permission drifts.
a route changes.
a dependency moves.
a runbook goes stale.

nothing looks broken to humans.

respawn finds the kill chain, tests the path, and drives the fix. continuously.

your ai recovery engineer is working 24/7 to find failure modes and drive remediation.

[BROKEN DOORWAY]

[BROKEN DOORWAY]

your failover environment exists. traffic just can’t reach it. dns, routing, load balancers, firewalls, or security groups quietly broke the path.

[EXPIRED KEY]

[MISSING DEPENDENCY]

[MISSING DEPENDENCY]

the app comes back. the business does not. auth, payments, queues, databases, caches, email, or third-party services are missing from the recovery path.

“When I was at [Fortune 500], once a year they would have a big DR exercise. And every year it would just fail. They’d say, “oh, we got all these good lessons learned”... it’s really not. We just spent all these resources every year, and still failed every time.”

"This would keep us from having to put a team of people on something for two weeks to fix something that's broken. Instead, we catch it before it breaks where one person can fix it."

"You’re solving one of the most archaic and legacy components of cybersecurity. It's kind of like the unspoken secret."

CISO - Airline

“The problem that you're solving here is, again, nobody really knows until you've got to pull the backups… That uncertainty… this gives you visibility… and insight and you can control… that outcome is you have complete confidence.”

CEO - MDR

“There's a huge difference between I restored the data and I have my application running. People don't test it out. It's hard to test. How do you test it? You can't. Everybody just lies about RTO and RPO because it’s too time consuming.”

CISO - Paper and Forest Product Manufacturing

"If our systems go offline, visits stop, health plans complain, and our people don't come back. Having something that catches that before it breaks — and tells us the fix in Slack before it becomes a crisis — that's what we need."

CIO - Health Tech

“We wouldn’t have to hire one extra person if I could get patch-verification off his plate, an entire salary. Verification is a big deal… I just want to trust it’s working and do automatic test restores without dedicating a resource.”

frequently asked questions

what is respawn?

respawn is an ai recovery posture management platform for enterprise cloud infrastructure. it continuously tests failover, restore, and availability against your rto, finds what would break your recovery, and routes the fix to the right owner before it becomes downtime.

how does respawn connect to my cloud?

agentlessly and read-only by default. there are no installed agents. you grant scoped read-only credentials to the environments you choose, and respawn builds a living map of your applications, services, configurations, and dependencies from there.

what is a recovery kill chain?

a recovery kill chain is the sequence of hidden weak points, like a stale runbook, an expired key, or a misconfigured failover region, that individually look harmless but together guarantee a recovery fails when you need it. respawn finds these chains, tests them, and routes fixes to the owning team.

does respawn disrupt production?

no. respawn tests continuously without touching production. when you want a deeper exercise, it autonomously runs sandboxed recovery tests and drills inside your environment, so you can prove failover and restore actually work without production risk or a war room.

which clouds and compliance frameworks does respawn support?

respawn works with aws, google cloud, microsoft azure, and openstack. every scan, test, fix, and retest produces audit-ready evidence for soc 2, iso 27001, iso 22301, nist csf, pci dss, hipaa, and gdpr, and for financial and critical infrastructure rules like dora, nis2, ffiec, nydfs, apra cps 230, and uk operational resilience, plus cyber insurance reviews and board reporting.
