Building for Resilience: An Engineering Guide to the Mythos Era | Harness Blog

The release of Anthropic Mythos and Project Glasswing marks an exciting and pivotal new chapter in software development. As the industry advances, the speed and economics of vulnerability exploitation have fundamentally shifted. What once took weeks of manual reconnaissance can now be scaled rapidly through automated models. However, this is not just a security problem to solve. It is a massive engineering opportunity to build cleaner, more robust systems.

Infrastructure as Code Management: Terragrunt & Multi-IaC | Harness Blog

What happens when your Infrastructure as Code management strategy works perfectly in dev, scales reasonably well in staging, and then quietly fractures across seventeen production workspaces because nobody documented which Terragrunt wrapper goes with which AWS account? You spend Friday afternoon reverse-engineering DRY patterns that made sense six months ago, wondering why your team is managing three different IaC execution engines with four incompatible workflow philosophies.

Five questions your platform evaluation is missing

Years back I sat in on a platform evaluation with a customer who spent forty-five minutes of the meeting focusing on one thing: their custom PHP content management system. They had opinions about the CMS. Strong opinions. They had benchmarks, a migration plan, a proof of concept. They had a diagram. They had questions about the deployment pipeline for this CMS that were, for a single application, more thoroughly considered than most organizations' entire infrastructure strategies.

Why do you need incident alerting? (And why monitoring alone isn't enough)

Monitoring tools track what’s happening across your systems and send a Slack message or email when something looks off. But they don’t call anyone and they don’t escalate the incident. If that Slack message goes unseen at 3 AM on a Saturday, the incident just sits there until someone opens their dashboard. Incident alerting fills this gap. When an incident triggers, it contacts the right person directly through a phone call or their preferred channel.

Inclusive AI vs. centralized AI: Can India avoid big tech concentration?

At the 2026 India AI Impact Summit in February 2026, 92 countries and international organizations (including the US, China, and the UK) signed a preliminary agreement that positions AI as both a development tool and a shared global responsibility. “India will not be a mere consumer in the AI age. We will be the creators, the builders, and the exporters of intelligence and we are proud to be able to participate in that future.” Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group.

Now in Harness DB DevOps: Percona Toolkit for safer MySQL schema changes | Harness Blog

If you've ever run an ALTER TABLE on a busy MySQL table in production, you know the feeling. The change is small. The risk isn't. Long-running table locks, queued writes, application timeouts, replication lag, a five-minute migration that turns into a half-hour incident review. We're shipping an integration that takes that anxiety out of the loop. Harness Database DevOps now supports Percona Toolkit for MySQL as part of Liquibase-based schema management.

Ask Cortex anything, right from Slack

The Monday morning thread. Someone asks who owns checkout-service. Someone else asks what changed in the Production Readiness Scorecard last week. A third person wants to know if the Kubernetes migration is blocking the launch next Thursday. The answers exist. They live in Cortex. But getting them into the thread means someone stops what they're doing, opens a tab, finds the data, and pastes it back. By the time they do, the conversation has moved on.
