Summary

Harness has expanded its Chaos Engineering capabilities by integrating them with its Continuous Delivery platform to automate resilience testing and governance, helping teams identify system weaknesses and reduce downtime. This integration allows developers and SREs to test applications' reliability and resilience within software delivery pipelines, thereby improving velocity and minimizing unplanned downtime risks. As enterprises increasingly rely on cloud-native applications, the complexity of systems grows, making chaos engineering essential to prevent unforeseen downtime and technical debt. Harness Chaos Engineering, built on the open-source LitmusChaos project, enables automated chaos experiments with resilience scoring, ensuring systems are tested against various scenarios without impacting development speed. The Chaos Engineering platform supports serverless architecture resilience testing, with a significant expansion in its chaos fault library, including specific tests for AWS Lambda functions. This development is part of Harness's broader effort to create a unified software delivery platform, following its acquisition of ChaosNative Inc., which enables companies to build resilient and reliable software delivery pipelines rapidly.
