Tech Talk | AI Meets Chaos: Automating Failure Testing for Scalable Reliability
Date: Thursday, August 7th at 11am PT / 2pm ET
As production environments grow increasingly complex, traditional observability and testing approaches fall short in identifying latent failures. Chaos Engineering addresses this gap by injecting controlled faults to expose weaknesses before they impact users. Yet many teams struggle with experiment design, prioritization, and operational integration.
In this webinar, experts from Harness discuss how generative AI can augment chaos engineering workflows, enabling faster root cause identification, intelligent experiment selection, and more efficient feedback loops. And they explore how Harness is applying AI/ML techniques to drive decision automation, reduce toil, and align chaos practices with real-world reliability objectives.
What You'll Learn:
- Key challenges engineers face when adopting chaos engineering practices
- How to identify, prioritize, and execute critical chaos experiments for immediate system improvements
- The pivotal role of AI in simplifying chaos engineering and driving actionable insights
- Innovative features in the Harness Chaos Engineering product that transform chaos adoption for reliability-focused teams
Whether you’re building a chaos program from scratch or optimizing an existing one, this webinar will offer actionable insights to elevate your reliability engineering efforts.

About the presenters:
Matthew Schillerstrom, Director Product Management and Product Marketing, Harness
I'm passionate about helping people learn Site Reliability Engineering and DevOps. As an engineer at Target, I discovered my love for product management while building reliable software and high-performing teams. I later helped launch the world's first Failure-as-a-Service product at a SaaS startup. Now, as the Director of Product Management, I blend both worlds to help developers globally ship reliable code and embrace failure as part of innovation. Outside of work, I lead community tech and resilience groups, and volunteer with non-profits.
