Open SourceChaos Engineering platform
Litmus is a CNCF-hosted, open-source Chaos Engineering platform that helps teams indentify infrastructure weaknesses through safe, controlled chaos tests, simple for developers and SREs, built on modern practices, and powered by the community.
An end to end Chaos Engineering platform
Litmus is an end-to-end chaos engineering platform for cloud native infrastructure and applications. Litmus is designed to orchestrate and analyze chaos in their environments.
Get Started

not days
helm install litmuschaos/litmusPacked with features to achieve resilience
Over time, with the monthly cadence releases and community engagement, we have added a lot of features and made LitmusChaos much easier for the end-users. With the launch of Litmus 2.0, a new way of chaos engineering can be performed by the users.
ChaosHub
ChaosHub hosts most of the chaos experiments that are needed for a quick start in Chaos Engineering. These experiments are well tested, highly tunable and declarative.
Litmus Experiments
Chaos experiments are chained either in sequence or in parallel to build a chaos scenario. Chaos Experiments are declarative, schedulable and browsable. Chaos Experiments analytics are also available.
Litmus Probes
Steady state hypothesis can be created and verified using Litmus probes. Various types of probes help users to create complete chaos scenarios close to the real application experience upon failure.
Chaos Observability
Litmus exports Prometheus metrics transforming events and results that can help to highlight and quantify the impact of chaos on the applications or infrastructure in real time via in-house dashboards and external visualisation or APM tools.
And many more features

Litmus is highly extensible and integrates with other tools to enable the creation of custom experiments. Kubernetes developers & SREs use Litmus to manage chaos in a declarative manner and find weaknesses in their applications and infrastructure.

Discover how organizations worldwide are using LitmusChaos to build resilient systems and improve their chaos engineering practices
“Litmus is a great tool that offers out of the box generic chaos tests with different types of probes for performing validations at different time during the experiment which make automation easy.”
Samar
Lead Engineer at Orange
Orange has been using Litmus to strengthen the resiliency of their private cloud.
“Litmus was our top choice when it came to developing our cloud native chaos scenarios: it’s extensive list of experiments, open source nature, and friendly community gave us all the ingredients we needed to successfully complete our goals.”
Jordi Gil
Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat
Red Hat uses Litmus for testing the maturity of the Red Hat Openshift Virtualization solution.
“Litmus let's us easily incorporate simple chaos experiments into already existing clusters. Since it provides native Kubernetes support, it's easy to understand and modify. Also, LitmusChaos community is nothing short of exceptional, so that's a bonus!”
Adrian Gonciarz
Lead Q/A Engineer at Kitopi
Kitopi uses Litmus to continuously test the resiliency of their system.
“Litmus is one of the most promising open source chaos engineering frameworks that takes into account proper chaos engineering principles while providing autonomy and extensibility to the users.”
Andreas Krivas
Engineering Manager at Container Solutions
Container Solutions uses Litmus to provide Chaos Engineering solutions for many of their clients in improving their operational efficiency and reducing number of outages.
