DevConf.IN 2026

Imagine telling your system, “Simulate a pod failure on the payments service,” or asking, “What chaos experiments have we run on service X in the last 30 days?” In this talk, we explore how natural language interfaces powered by AI and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) are reshaping the way we design, execute, and analyze chaos experiments using LitmusChaos. The audience will be introduced to a more intuitive experience, one where you no longer need to write YAML or memorize CRDs to validate resilience.

This session isn’t just about technology, it’s about accessibility. By replacing YAML and dashboards with human language, we’re lowering the barrier to entry for chaos engineering. Resilience testing becomes accessible to QA, product, and on-call teams, not just platform experts. Whether or not you’re currently using Litmus, this talk will provide a roadmap for building your own chaos copilot and a glimpse into a future where resilience is everyone’s responsibility.

In this talk, I’ll share a practical playbook for creating and sustaining a healthy open source community, drawn from my experience building projects like LitmusChaos, ToolJet, and ReactPlay. We’ll explore what really drives engagement, how to convert users into contributors, and the key practices that help maintainers avoid burnout while scaling their projects.
We’ll also discuss what you should and shouldn’t expect from a community as an open source organization. Setting the right expectations is critical for guiding the community’s growth in a healthy and sustainable direction.
Expect honest stories, actionable frameworks, and a look at what actually works (and what absolutely doesn’t) when you’re growing an open source community in the real world.
Whether you’re a maintainer, community manager, or just starting your open source journey, this session will give you tools and patterns you can apply immediately to grow your project and its community.
