Netflix also has a famous division of monkeys that they unleash to take down servers in the hive, and generally muck about.

They want to break as many things as possible while keeping uptime and that sounds freaking awesome! :D

Chaos monkeys meet entropy gremlins.

Not to be confused with the Gremlin graph traversal language (https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki) or the JavaScript version of Gremlin.

For those who don't know: this is PROBABLY named after Palm OS Gremlins. Palm OS had a debugging tool called "gremlins" that would randomly tap and type and gesture all over your Palm OS app. This debugging tool would often find edge cases that would end up crashing your app.

As someone who used to program for Palm OS a lot, I was pretty happy to see this name. :)
