Recommended Experiments for Production Resilience in Harness Chaos Engineering | Harness Blog

Jan 9, 2026 By Ashutosh Bhadauriya In Harness
This guide covers battle-tested chaos experiments for Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, and GCP to help you validate production resilience before real failures happen. Start with low blast radius experiments (pod-level) and gradually progress to higher impact scenarios (node/zone failures), always defining clear hypotheses and using probes to measure results. Building reliable distributed systems isn't just about writing good code. It's about understanding how your systems behave when things go wrong.

Vibe coding tools observability with VictoriaMetrics Stack and OpenTelemetry

Jan 9, 2026 By Alexander Marshalov In VictoriaMetrics
AI-powered coding assistants have transformed how developers write software. Tools like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, and OpenCode have introduced what many call “vibe coding” — a new paradigm where users describe their intent and AI agents handle the implementation details. But as these tools become integral to development workflows, a critical question emerges: how do we understand what’s happening under the hood?

Kubernetes is Hard. Here is the "Easy Mode" for 2026

Jan 9, 2026 By Speedscale In Speedscale
Is Kubernetes actually hard, or are we just using the wrong tools? In 2026, the Kubernetes ecosystem has become a "dependency jungle." Between GitOps, YAML configuration, kubectl mastery, and complex CI/CD pipelines, developers are spending more time managing infrastructure than writing code. In this video, Ken breaks down the "hard parts" of K8s and introduces a more efficient workflow using Speedscale. Learn how to gain instant visibility into your cluster, pull logs without the headache, and turn real-world traffic into actionable load tests.
