Harness, the developer-focused startup from Jyoti Bansal, has been working hard to build a more complete modern tooling platform for developers while taking a distinct shift into open source more recently. The acquisition of Drone.io began in 2020.
The acquisition of ChaosNative is an open source chaos engineering product which has been nurtured by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
The project was originally geared to Cloud Native projects, but has grown into a broader set of chaos engineering tools over time, according to the company's CEO and co-founder.
What started out as an effort to provide out-of-the-box chaos experiments for Kubernetes-based microservices eventually grew into an end-to-end framework to carry out chaos engineering on a wide variety of application and infrastructure targets.
Harness adds another piece to its developer toolkit, one that allows it to pressure-test its projects against worst-case scenarios. The idea is to create a set of conditions that could cause your application to be taken down in order to prevent it from happening.
The platform already has a set of testing and reliability tools.
With the acquisition of ChaosNative and the addition of Harness STO, the Harness platform bridges the chasm of velocity, resilience, reliability and security, empowering developers to rapidly and reliably deliver on business objectives.
The open source project will be integrated into the Harness platform and commercial versions of the ChaosNative products will be offered.
As part of Harness, we will continue to help maintain the community-first values of Litmus, while delivering on important roadmap items around integrations, newer fault injections/experiments, and an improved chaos dashboard.
Customers will see ChaosNative's capabilities later this quarter, but the companies did not discuss a purchase price.
