litmuschaos/litmus
Litmus helps SREs and developers practice chaos engineering in a Cloud-native way. Chaos experiments are published at the ChaosHub (https://hub.litmuschaos.io). Community notes is at https://hackmd.io/a4Zu_sH4TZGeih-xCimi3Q
Build with Backblaze B2
SDKs, agent skills, IDE extensions, and reference pipelines from Backblaze Labs. All open source.

Use Cases & Benefits
- Enables SREs and developers to perform cloud-native chaos engineering by creating, managing, and monitoring chaos experiments on Kubernetes.
- Offers a centralized control plane and Kubernetes-native custom resources for seamless chaos experiment orchestration and observability.
- Use for integrating chaos testing into CI/CD pipelines to detect application weaknesses under failure conditions.
- Use for developers to run chaos experiments during application development as an extension of unit or integration testing.
- Use for SREs to schedule and automate chaos experiments on infrastructure and applications to improve system resilience.

From the README
LitmusChaos is an open source Chaos Engineering platform that enables teams to identify weaknesses & potential outages in infrastructures by inducing chaos tests in a controlled way. Developers & SREs can practice Chaos Engineering with LitmusChaos as it is easy to use, based on modern Chaos Engineering principles & community collaborated. It is 100% open source & a CNCF project.
LitmusChaos takes a cloud-native approach to create, manage and monitor chaos. The platform itself runs as a set of microservices and uses Kubernetes custom resources (CRs) to define the chaos intent, as well as the steady state hypothesis.
At the heart of the platform are the following chaos custom resources:
The ChaosExperiment & ChaosEngine CRs are embedded within a Workflow object that can string together one or more experiments in a desired order.
ChaosExperiment CRs are hosted on hub.litmuschaos.io. It is a central hub where the application developers or vendors share their chaos experiments so that their users can use them to increase the resilience of the applications in production.
To get started, check out the Litmus Docs and specifically the Installation section of the Getting Started with Litmus page.
