Harness Acquires ChaosNative
March 22, 2022

Harness announced the acquisition of ChaosNative, the original creator of the popular Cloud Native Computing Foundation project LitmusChaos, which is used by hundreds of leading organizations, including Intuit, Mercedes, NetApp, Orange, RedHat, and VMWare.

ChaosNative Litmus is ChaosNative's highly scalable and secure enterprise platform for chaos engineering, offered both in the cloud and on-premises.

Together, the companies are integrating the advanced testing capabilities of ChaosNative Litmus into the Harness Software Delivery Platform, providing customers with the ability to reduce downtime across distributed environments, track reliability improvements, reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR), and provide a better end-user experience. This new Harness Software Delivery Platform module, Harness Chaos Engineering powered by Litmus, enables development teams to take full control of their service reliability.

"ChaosNative's team of software engineers pioneered the very popular open source platform, LitmusChaos, which serves as the basis for many leading enterprises' chaos framework. As enterprises continue to struggle with reliability as a result of ever increasing scale and complexity of their distributed systems, chaos engineering provides a solution. The integration of ChaosNative Litmus into the Harness software delivery platform helps customers easily introduce chaos engineering into their workflows to reduce costly downtime and increase resiliency and security," said Jyoti Bansal, CEO, Harness.

"It is awesome to bring ChaosNative's technology, customer base and employees to Harness," said Uma Makkura, CEO, ChaosNative. "Until now, chaos engineering has lived at the end of the Software Delivery Lifecycle (SDLC). With the Harness platform we are shifting the chaos engineering process left, providing an improved developer experience and freeing developer time for innovation, rather than testing."

The acquisition of ChaosNative is complete. Harness will become a primary sponsor of the CNCF LitmusChaos project and will provide additional support for the open source project.
