About LitmusChaos
LitmusChaos is a CNCF hosted, open source chaos engineering platform. It helps teams find infrastructure weaknesses through controlled chaos tests.
What it does
Litmus runs chaos experiments in cloud native environments and checks the results against hypotheses that you write. The newer litmus-lite is a single binary that runs a failure test from a file and writes one HTML report. It can be run from a terminal or driven by a coding agent through MCP tools, and the scenario files are kept next to the service they test.

- Controlled chaos tests on infrastructure
- litmus-lite single binary for Linux, macOS and Windows

Pricing and good to know
