The question for enterprise AI in 2026 is no longer just which model. It’s which harness. An agent harness is the system around the model. It decides what the agent remembers, what context it sees, what tools it can call, what it is allowed to do, and what happens when it is wrong. The model provides intelligence. The harness provides control. This is where the real engineering is happening.

TLDR: Today, Harness is introducing the Harness Cursor Plugin, bringing the power of the Harness AI-native software delivery platform directly into Cursor. This integration, along with the Harness Secure AI Coding hook for Cursor, allows developers and AI agents to move from code changes to vulnerability detection, CI/CD execution, security validation, approvals, deployments, and operational insight without leaving the editor. AI has completely changed how we write code.

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.

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.

Most development teams today build everything around Git, and deploy with GitOps principles. Code sits in version controlled environments, changes go through PRs, and deployments are handled through modern CI/CD. That part is pretty standard at this point, especially when using a modern DevOps platform like 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.

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.

Good agent infrastructure is less about exposing more endpoints and more about exposing a small set of composable, self-describing abstractions that minimize context overhead while encapsulating repetitive integration work.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stop treating system outages like surprises and start preparing for them. While traditional software testing is the bedrock of development, using unit, integration, and regression tests to verify that code meets specific requirements, it only accounts for what we expect to happen. Chaos Engineering takes a different approach by shifting the focus from bug prevention to system resilience. Instead of asking "does this work?", Chaos Engineering asks "how does this survive?" by injecting real-world turbulence like network latency or pod failures directly into production-like environments.

Before you deploy, you need to know if your application can handle real-world traffic. In this video, we break down the 5 essential load testing metrics: Response Time (latency), Throughput (requests per second), Error Rates (system stability), Resource Utilization (CPU/Memory bottlenecks), and User Concurrency. Whether you're into Software Engineering, DevOps, or SRE, understanding these System Design fundamentals is the only way to prevent server crashes and ensure Software Scalability.

Discover the 7 most important types of load testing that every developer, DevOps engineer, and QA team should know in 2026. Whether you're building scalable applications, preparing for traffic surges, or ensuring system reliability, understanding these load testing types is essential for modern software performance testing. In this quick video from Harness, we break down.

Recorded at @DevOpsLive Most teams have “done DevOps” and “built a platform,” but still wrestle with the same core problems: platforms that developers dodge, AI that accelerates coding while quietly degrading delivery performance, security and compliance that can’t keep up, cloud bills that keep climbing, and incident response that hasn’t caught up with cloud‑native complexity.
