AI for Development Isn’t New.
AI for Delivery Is!

AI coding assistants have transformed how teams create software. But innovation only delivers business value when code moves quickly and safely from commit to production and into customers' hands.

In AI-Native Software Delivery, Harness Field CTO Nick Durkin and DevOps veterans Eric Minick and Chinmay Gaikwad present a practical guide to applying AI across the entire software delivery lifecycle.

This book offers cutting-edge strategies for modernizing CI/CD, implementing intelligent automation, and eliminating manual toil—without sacrificing security or governance.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to apply AI beyond the IDE, across delivery pipelines, infrastructure, and testing
  • The risks of brittle, fragmented automation and how to avoid them
  • How to build resilient delivery systems using AIOps, DevSecOps, and intelligent rollback
  • Real-world lessons from teams embracing AI-native practices at scale
  • Ways to future-proof your delivery process with adaptive, feedback-driven pipelines

Whether you're leading a platform team, modernizing legacy tooling, or starting your AI-native journey, this guide will help you deliver faster, safer, and smarter.
