How to Build a Developer Self-Service Platform That Actually Works | Harness Blog

Your developers are buried under tickets for environments, pipelines, and infra tweaks, while a small platform team tries to keep up. That is not developer self-service. That is managed frustration. If 200 developers depend on five platform engineers for every change, you do not have a platform; you have a bottleneck. Velocity drops, burnout rises, and shadow tooling appears. Developer self-service fixes this, but only when it is treated as a product, not a portal skin.

What Metrics to Monitor in Your Vibe Coded App

These days, using a tool such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Zed, or Claude makes it easier than ever to develop and deploy applications. You express your requirements, receive the completed project back as output, and there you have it! You now have an application that is in production and functioning. However, the surprise comes after the app has been deployed. When your app breaks or behaves abnormally, it may not be immediately obvious what is wrong or how to fix it.

AI Coding Agents Break What Works

Your AI coding agent just made every test pass. Ship it, right? Not so fast. A growing class of AI-generated bugs doesn’t come from writing bad code. It comes from the AI changing working code to accommodate its own mistakes. This isn’t a theoretical risk. It’s happening now, in production codebases, and it’s harder to catch than any bug the AI might introduce from scratch.

Top 7 AI/ML Development Companies for Enterprise Solutions in 2026

By 2026, most enterprises have moved beyond the proof-of-concept stage of AI. A demo may be easy to deliver, but deploying an autonomous agent in a production environment introduces challenges around data sanitization, system integration, and inference cost management.

Top 5 Creative & Digital Agencies for Scalable CMS Solutions (Ranked)

A company website should be an asset that drives engagement, visibility, and sales as time goes on. But, it doesn't always work out that way. It takes an investment in your website so that it actually fuels your growth, which is where scalable CMS solutions come into play. These add quite a few features and upgrades to a business website, helping it actually help your business. And, creative and digital agencies are usually the best place to go for this.

Stop Vibe Coding Everything: The Case for Spec-Driven Dev

Spec-driven development with AI coding agents could change how you build software. In this GitKon 2025 talk, Erik Hanchett, Senior Developer Advocate at AWS, breaks down why AI coding assistants perform dramatically better when they start with structured specifications instead of raw prompts. If you've been vibe coding your way through complex features and wondering why your AI keeps going off the rails, this is the video for you.

What Your Engineering Team Means When They Say "We Need a Better Solana API"

If your engineering lead has asked for a budget to upgrade your Solana infrastructure, you've probably heard about APIs, RPC nodes, latency, and landing rates. And if you are like most non-technical executives, you nodded, approved a line item, and moved on. This post is the translation layer. A Solana API is the single connection between your product and the blockchain it runs on. When that connection is slow, unreliable, or undersized, your users feel it before your dashboards show it.

How Strategic Partnerships Are Reshaping Modern Product Development

Product development rarely happens inside a single organization anymore. As software platforms grow more complex and industries become more interconnected, companies increasingly rely on external partners to help design, build, and deliver new products. Cloud providers, platform vendors, engineering partners, and specialized research organizations now play an essential role in modern development environments. Instead of building every component internally, many companies operate within ecosystems where collaboration across organizations is necessary to move products forward.

The Rise of AI App Builders in Agile Development Environments

Modern software development moves quickly. Businesses need to test ideas, release updates, and respond to customer feedback faster than ever before. Agile development methods were created to support this need for speed and flexibility. In recent years, a new type of tool has begun to support these processes even more. An AI app builder helps teams create applications with less manual coding by using artificial intelligence to assist with design, development, and testing tasks.
