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.

A continuous runtime and change risk resilience capability.

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.

    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.

Respawn understands your business and tests the scenarios that matter. You get, in plain words, what will break, why, and the fix delivered as a pull request.

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

Built for the teams blamed when downtime hits.

Respawn removes the painful shared responsibility work between “we think we're Resilient” and “we know it works.”

Field note · 01

“Do I have failover? Is my HA working? Are my secrets right? Are my backups good for these time periods? Do I have the right recovery points? SSO? These are the issues. I need something that understands where the weaknesses are in the architecture.”

“There’s the force of ‘you must adopt AI’… There will be a proliferation of tools… but all of those will create the problem Respawn is solving.”

Resilience Lead · Pharma
Field note · 03

“We don’t have a non-prod environment to validate these multi-region Terraform changes in. So it’s just like, well, we can only do so much of a PR review and manual review beforehand. So having that feedback before it gets to production is, I would say, the biggest key.”

Lead Cloud Engineer · Restaurant Chain
Field note · 04

“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.”

CISO · Fourtune 500
Field note · 05

“You’re rolling out app config… there’s things happening constantly.”

CISO · SaaS
Field note · 06

“Now your resilience plan no longer applies to the environment that you’re running. And now you put on some set of people’s task lists, go update the plan and make sure it’ll work if it fails over tomorrow, because the as-is environment has changed.”

CIO · Higher Education
Field note · 07

“It’s not scalable by just putting more people on it to actually really dig into the map and find what’s most important in a timely fashion before the map has all changed.”

CEO · Cybersecurity Services
Field note · 08

“They stood up the Azure environment to be able to support it, but they didn’t put the redundancy in place. And we actually had a hard failure… and no redundancy to rely on.”

CISO · SaaS
Field note · 09

“It’s human nature to tend to be more reactive and tend to save money in the front end and hoping that it doesn’t happen. It becomes a faith-based system.”

Resilience Lead · Pharma
Field note · 10

“Those full failovers are not tested, you know, all the time, right? So when you go to actually do it… you’re learning a on the fly.”

CISO · Water Utility
Field note · 11

“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.”

CISO · Health Tech
Field note · 12

“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.”

VP IT · Spectator Sports
Field note · 13

“Every time... same app in recovery scenario, we're getting crazy different results.”

CISO · Fortune 500
Field note · 14

“If your product can tell me my actual recovery time is not five hours, it's actually forty eight hours — that means I have an extended exposure of forty three hours. Millions of dollars every hour.”

FAQ

Does Respawn touch production?

No. It reads configuration through a read-only IAM role. Tests run in an isolated environment, and fixes only apply when your team merges the pull request.

What access does it need?

A read-only IAM role in each AWS account and a GitHub app that opens pull requests. No agents to install.

What data does Respawn store?

Configuration metadata, not application data. It sees that a secret changed, never its value.

What do you support today?

AWS, GitHub, Terraform and Slack. Google Cloud, Azure, GitLab and Kubernetes are coming soon.
