KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2026

Flipkart, one of India's leading digital commerce entities, runs hundreds of tightly coupled microservices that must withstand the massive traffic surges of Big Billion Days and festive sales. To stop treating outages as an afterthought, Flipkart's Central Reliability Engineering team built a centralized chaos engineering platform on top of Litmus Chaos. To make it work at their scale, they customized Litmus in four meaningful ways: a hybrid multi-tenancy architecture that splits the difference between cluster-wide and namespace-wide installs, a DaemonSet-based high-availability model for chaos injection, a first-class Script Runner fault for dynamic target selection and context chaining, and a hybrid VM chaos extension for workloads that don't run on Kubernetes. This talk shares what they built, why, and what they contributed back upstream.
