Harness Adds 8 New Features to Redefine Resiliency with AI-Powered Chaos Engineering

Table of Contents

Harness Chaos Engineering redefines resilience by combining AI-driven automation with seamless DevOps integration to tackle modern system challenges. With features like service discovery, tailored chaos experiments, and intelligent safeguards, teams can proactively identify weaknesses, automate resilience testing, and scale practices across environments. By transforming unpredictability into actionable insights, Harness empowers teams to build robust systems and minimize downtime.

Modern systems are complex, distributed, and constantly evolving—creating new risks with every change. Downtime, scaling issues, and unexpected failures aren’t just technical problems; they’re business challenges that impact revenue, customer trust, and compliance. Chaos engineering offers a proactive way to tackle these challenges by simulating failures to improve resilience.

But what if chaos engineering could do more? What if it didn’t just simulate failures but provided actionable insights, AI-driven recommendations, and seamless integrations to help you build truly resilient systems and teams?

With Harness Chaos Engineering, that future is now. Combining AI-powered automation with deep ecosystem integration, Harness is redefining how teams approach resilience testing. By simplifying workflows, connecting the dots between changes and failures, and empowering teams to act, we’re transforming uncertainty into predictable reliability.

Why Choose Harness Chaos Engineering?

Unlike traditional chaos engineering tools that focus on isolated tests, Harness Chaos Engineering integrates directly into your DevOps pipelines and operational workflows, empowering teams with a unified platform to:

  • Proactively identify and fix system weaknesses.
  • Automate resilience testing with AI-driven recommendations.
  • Scale chaos experiments across cloud-native and legacy environments.
  • Minimize downtime, reduce costs, and improve Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR).

Your Partner in Resilience

AI is the cornerstone of modern DevOps platforms. Harness chaos engineering is no different and enables teams to move beyond manual testing and into intelligent, proactive experimentation. Here’s how Harness integrates AI to transform resilience:

  • Tailored Recommendations: AI analyzes your architecture and operational data to suggest the most impactful chaos experiments.
  • Automated Experimentation: From setup to execution, AI reduces complexity and accelerates testing cycles.
  • Actionable Insights: AI provides clear, data-driven next steps to address weaknesses and improve system reliability.
