Expanding Your Infrastructure Automation Across the Lifecycle Using Puppet Edge

Infrastructure automation is evolving… and so is Puppet! While Puppet has long been known for its strength in Day 2 operations through agent-based desired state configuration, Puppet also extends across Day 0 and Day 1 tasks. With Puppet Edge, you can target network devices alongside your existing infrastructure, enabling your teams to manage more scenarios, more devices, and more workflows. All from a single platform.

Onboarding with Cortex

Onboarding to Cortex has never been easier. In this video, discover how Cortex and Magellan, our AI-powered data engine, make it possible to go from a blank slate to a fully functional internal developer portal in just minutes, not months. What you’ll learn in this video: With Cortex, you can skip manual setup and start exploring your connected engineering ecosystem immediately. From day one, you’ll have visibility into services, ownership, and metrics, empowering your teams to drive standards and deliver value faster.

A 5-step enterprise guide to IaCM

As enterprises scale, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) alone isn’t enough to manage the growing complexity of modern infrastructure. Infrastructure as Code Management (IaCM) elevates IaC into a strategic, governed, and automated framework, providing centralized control, compliance, and collaboration at scale. Platforms like Harness IaCM make this transformation practical, turning infrastructure chaos into consistent, secure, and efficient operations.

Cloud vs Colocation: strategic infrastructure choices for long-term value

Organisations are no longer limited to running everything in-house. The real question is where different workloads should sit to deliver the best long-term results. For many, that means weighing up cloud vs colocation. Both offer advantages over traditional infrastructure but serve different aims. Cloud makes it simple to scale and launch new services, while colocation provides predictable costs, direct control, and stronger assurance for compliance.

10 Critical Factors to Consider When Choosing a Colocation Provider

Colocation remains one of the key ways for businesses in Europe and the United States to host their corporate IT infrastructure. Companies place their equipment in a provider's data center to gain industrial-grade reliability, round-the-clock support, and access to high-speed networks - all while maintaining full control over configuration and security.

QA Debt: The Silent Risk That Can Take Down Your Business

In engineering, we talk a lot about technical debt — the shortcuts and compromises made in code that pile up over time. But there’s another kind of debt that’s just as dangerous and far more invisible: QA debt. QA debt is what happens when testing isn’t given the same attention as features, architecture, or performance. It’s the accumulation of missed edge cases, outdated test suites, incomplete automation, or skipped regression checks.

The Silent Leak: How One Line of Go Drained Memory Across Thousands of Goroutines

This technical deep-dive reveals how Harness engineers discovered and fixed a critical Go memory leak where reassigning context variables in worker loops created invisible chains that prevented garbage collection across thousands of goroutines, ultimately consuming gigabytes of memory in their CI/CD delegate service.

Bridging the Gap Between Finance & Engineering: The Harness Playbook

Most cloud waste isn’t technical, it’s organizational. Harness brings finance and engineering together with FinOps practices that connect spend to outcomes, not blame. The result: 30%+ savings and alignment that scales. In too many cloud organizations, finance and engineering operate like two planets in orbit. Finance speaks in forecasts, budgets, billing codes. Engineering speaks in uptime, latency, error rates. The result?
