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

Apr 28, 2026 By Jesse Wang In Harness
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.

Disaster Recovery Testing in Harness | Resilience Testing

Apr 28, 2026 By Harness In Harness
In this video, we introduce Harness Resilience Testing and show you how to move beyond once-a-year DR drills to a continuously validated, pipeline-driven process. You'll see how Harness lets you validate regional failovers, check database replication lag under pressure, and confirm your hot standbys genuinely take over live traffic, all in one place. We also walk through a live DR test execution, showing exactly how Harness triggers the full failover sequence, runs every validation step automatically, and gives you a clear pass or fail result in real time.

Eliminate Manual Authentication Configuration for Fast & Effective API Security Scanning | Harness Blog

Apr 27, 2026 By Michael Isbitski In Harness
Application security testing tools promise coverage and accuracy, but teams often struggle just to get started. One of the biggest friction points in dynamic application security testing is configuring authentication correctly so a scanner can even access a target application, let alone API endpoints that power the functionality. Whether it’s API keys, bearer tokens, or custom auth flows, setting up authentication for scans frequently requires trial-and-error and engineering support.

An Introduction to Disaster Recovery Testing: What You Need to Know in 2026 | Harness Blog

Apr 22, 2026 By Pritesh Kiri In Harness
Businesses today run on computers, cloud systems, and digital tools. One big failure can stop everything. A cyber attack, a power outage, or a software glitch can shut down operations for hours or days. Disaster recovery testing is how you prove you can restore critical services when the unexpected happens. 
 In 2026, with hybrid and multi-cloud estates, distributed data, and tighter oversight, this is not a once-a-year fire drill.

How to Install Terraform for Secure and Scalable Infrastructure Automation | Harness Blog

Apr 22, 2026 By Mrinalini Sugosh In Harness
If your Terraform install is insecure or inconsistent, it can quickly slow down your delivery. A single compromised file or a misconfigured backend can stop deployments for many services. Teams that set up Terraform correctly from the start can scale easily and avoid compliance issues.

Beyond the Big Bang: De-risking Cloud Migrations with Progressive Delivery | Harness Blog

Apr 22, 2026 By Dewan Ahmed In Harness
At 2 am, your migration goes live. By 2:07, error rates spike, and rollback isn’t an option. Cloud migrations, API rewrites, and architecture transformations rarely fail because of bad code. They fail because of how that code is released. Most teams still rely on a “big bang” cutover where infrastructure, services, and user-facing changes go live at once. This concentrates risk into a single moment.

RTO and RPO in Disaster Recovery Explained | Resilience Testing | Harness

Apr 21, 2026 By Harness In Harness
Struggling with disaster recovery planning? Learn the simple difference between RTO and RPO, the two most important metrics every developer, DevOps engineer, and SRE must understand. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) tells you exactly how long your systems can stay down before it hurts your business. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) shows how much recent data you can afford to lose in an outage.

From Deployment to Confidence: Why Continuous Verification Is the Missing Piece in Modern CD Pipelines | Harness Blog

Apr 21, 2026 By Stefano Mazzone In Harness
Modern engineering teams have become exceptionally good at shipping software quickly. With modern CI/CD platforms, what once required careful coordination, late-night release windows, and layers of approvals now happens almost invisibly. Pipelines execute in minutes. Releases flow continuously. The friction that once slowed everything down has been engineered away. From the outside, it looks like progress in its purest form. Automation removed bottlenecks. Cloud infrastructure removed limits.
