Harness Chaos Engineering
What Harness Chaos Engineering is
Harness Chaos Engineering is a web-based product for running resilience tests with controlled faults. It supports Kubernetes, cloud fault injection, and network fault injection, giving teams several ways to create experiments against their systems. Experiments can be scheduled, and blast-radius controls help define how much of a system an experiment can affect. The product uses a hybrid deployment model.
Harness offers a Free Plan at no cost, with Harness Open Source, Litmus Chaos, and community support. The Essentials Plan combines CI, CD, infrastructure as code, and security in an all-in-one DevOps bundle, with standard support. The Enterprise Plan lets customers choose modules and includes enterprise-grade features in each module, along with premier support and a dedicated account manager. Both paid plans use Contact Sales as their billing option. The Free Plan’s listed starting option is “Get started for free.”
Who it suits
