Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 E11: Benjamin Wilms, Steadybit

Benjamin Wilms started his career in 1999 as a developer. In the little free time he has, he does mountain biking, spends time with his family, and visits the ocean a few hours away. For mountain biking, he finds that it helps him to keep life balanced away from a screen, and the ocean - well... he just likes to watch his kids play on the beach.

Seven years go, Ben started getting into the topic of Chao's engineering, while working as a consultant. As he learned about the tools on the market, he realized that to get the tool in production, it required him to understand all the codebase test coverage, without knowledge of SRE. He released on open source project of his own creation, and his approach got picked up by big name enterprises.

This is the creation story of Steadybit.
