Monitor Query Costs & Verify Database Changes Automatically - Harness Database DevOps + DBmarlin

See how Harness Database DevOps and DBmarlin work together to give you full visibility into query performance, automated deployment verification, and AI-assisted database change authoring - all inside your CI/CD pipeline. Most teams deploy database changes blind - they push a schema migration and hope nothing breaks. This demo shows a better way: DBmarlin surfaces the cost and performance of every query before and after a change, while Harness CV uses AI/ML to automatically detect regressions and block bad deployments from reaching production.

Burnout Is Rising. Here's What You Can Fix

The faster teams deploy, the more releases fail, and burnout climbs right with it. What 700 engineers told Harness about delivery at AI speed. Lenny's Newsletter put out its 2026 tech workforce survey this year, and you should read the whole thing. The headline stats: significant burnout jumped from 44.7% to 55.7% of tech workers in a year. Career optimism dropped from 54.8% to 48.7% over the same period of time.

The Citrix Security Crisis Exposed a Bigger Problem

Citrix was facing a major security crisis before its official warning even went out. Companies were already pulling critical network devices offline as attackers exploited serious vulnerabilities in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway systems. In this ShipTalk clip, Adam, Martin, and Starr break down the Citrix zero-day vulnerabilities, the race to respond, and the impossible decision facing security teams: keep potentially compromised infrastructure running or rush to deploy a patch.

TL;DR: Deploying shouldn't feel like crossing your fingers. With Harness CD, you set up your deployment once and get rollback and a full history of what shipped, without writing it all yourself.

From Git Repo to Docker Image: Building Your First CI Pipeline in Harness

Connect GitHub, let Harness generate your CI pipeline, then build and push a Docker image to DockerHub. No YAML required. Creating your first CI pipeline usually sounds simple until you actually start. You connect your repository, figure out what stages you need, configure the build steps, set up the runtime, add caching, testing, credentials, and then hope the first run actually works.

AI Finds and Fixes Security Vulnerabilities | Harness Demo

What if AI could find a security vulnerability, determine whether it actually matters, write the fix, validate it, and open a pull request for review? In this demo, see how Harness Security Testing Agents work together to move from vulnerability detection to a verified fix with an audit trail along the way. The system uses three agents: Harness can analyze where vulnerabilities exist in your environment, determine whether they’re actually reachable, prioritize what needs to be fixed, and automatically create remediation pull requests.

Harness acquires Augment Code to advance the Autonomous SDLC

Harness Cosmos Software Factory Agent automates engineering from idea to code, connecting code context with delivery, security, testing, and production workflows. The world runs on software. Better healthcare, more accessible financial services, more efficient businesses, and better everyday experiences all depend on our ability to build and improve it. AI is making that faster, but the outcome that matters is not simply how much code we generate.

Companies Are Ripping Citrix Devices Offline. Here's Why

Citrix NetScaler customers were pulling devices offline as attackers moved faster than the traditional patch and response cycle. What happens when cyberattacks move faster than security teams can react? In this episode of ShipTalk, Martin Reynolds and Adam Arellano are joined by Starr Brown, Director of Open Source Projects at OWASP, to break down the latest Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway security vulnerabilities, active exploitation, and the rapidly shrinking window between vulnerability discovery and attack.

Alibaba's AI Agent Went Rogue and Started Mining Crypto

An Alibaba-affiliated AI agent went full crypto bro. During reinforcement learning, the agent autonomously started mining cryptocurrency, downloaded the tools it needed, and created a reverse SSH tunnel to get around network restrictions. What starts as a funny story about an AI vaping and mining crypto gets a lot more serious when you realize how sophisticated the behavior actually was.

Judgment, not generation: rebuilding our AI API Classifier on Jev

Rebuild AI API classification with Jev to cut costs, reduce latency, improve calibration, and make production decisions more efficient without sacrificing accuracy.

Knowledge Graphs for Software Delivery: An Architectural Approach

Discover how software delivery knowledge graphs unify fragmented SDLC data, enable schema-as-code, and power deterministic AI reasoning across engineering teams. Software delivery knowledge graphs unify fragmented SDLC data across disparate tools by establishing explicit entities, typed relationships, and schema-as-code contracts. This transforms manual cross-system data stitching and non-deterministic AI reasoning into reliable, queryable knowledge. Key takeaways include.

The Next AI Breakthrough? Teaching AI to Shut Up and Decide

Jev is a new AI model from Type Safe built around a very different idea: instead of generating long answers, it makes fast, simple decisions. The team reportedly even demoed it playing Doom using nothing but split-second choices. After years of teaching AI models to talk, could the next breakthrough be teaching them to simply decide?

Watch an AI Agent Fix a Failed CI Build | Harness Worker Agents
