What does LitmusChaos do?

LitmusChaos is an open-source chaos engineering platform designed for cloud-native applications, particularly on Kubernetes. Founded in late 2017, it became a CNCF incubating project in January 2022. The platform helps teams test the resilience of their infrastructure and applications by conducting controlled chaos experiments. It operates as a nonprofit and is headquartered in San Francisco, employing between 11 to 50 people. The platform offers a comprehensive chaos engineering framework that supports resilience testing in both staging and production environments. Users can access predefined and custom chaos experiments through ChaosHub, which simulates various failures such as outages and network issues. The ChaosCenter Dashboard provides a centralized interface for managing chaos workflows and monitoring results across Kubernetes clusters. LitmusChaos emphasizes cost-effectiveness as open-source software, making it suitable for a range of cloud-native architectures. It is widely adopted by Kubernetes developers, SREs, and DevOps teams, contributing to the development of resilient systems.
