LitmusChaos Cloud has transitioned to Harness Enterprise SaaS, offering users a free plan that includes comprehensive enterprise features with a limit on the number of experiment runs per month, thereby enhancing chaos engineering practices. This shift underscores the evolution of chaos engineering, propelled by tools like LitmusChaos, ChaosToolkit, and Chaos Mesh, and highlights LitmusChaos's vital role in setting industry standards. The Harness Chaos Engineering platform integrates with existing tools, providing extensive fault coverage, automated processes, and strong security governance, making it a robust solution for both community and business needs. The free plan encourages users to upgrade their chaos engineering efforts by offering easy access to enterprise functionalities, comprehensive documentation, and integration options with various CI/CD and observability tools. Over the past years, the chaos engineering ecosystem has transformed significantly, with LitmusChaos gaining widespread adoption across industries such as telecom, e-commerce, banking, and automotive, becoming a popular tool for defining chaos engineering principles. As the LitmusChaos team now forms part of Harness's Chaos Engineering group, they aim to create an industry-ready platform that meets business requirements, appeals to a broader audience, and supports automation and resilience. The Harness Chaos Engineering Free Plan serves as a community-driven effort to make chaos engineering accessible, allowing users to simulate failures, optimize recovery, and enhance system reliability, thereby reducing downtime and offering clear financial benefits.
