Platform Engineering vs DevOps: How a Software Engineering Platform Unites Both | Harness Blog

DevOps is a culture and practice that gets development and operations teams to collaborate, automate, and ship software faster and more reliably. Platform engineering is the discipline that builds the internal tooling and self-service infrastructure that makes those DevOps practices repeatable at scale. Put simply: DevOps is the goal; platform engineering is one of the most effective ways to reach it across many teams. Your developers are shipping code faster than ever.

Software Delivery Platform Explained: Key Features and How to Evaluate One | Harness Blog

A software delivery platform is an integrated system that manages every stage of moving software from a code commit to production: continuous integration, continuous delivery, security, and the feedback loops in between. It treats delivery as one governed lifecycle instead of a chain of disconnected steps.

FinOps Savings Optimization: Stop Overspending, Start Saving | Harness Blog

Traditional FinOps focuses on cutting overspend, but the real opportunity lies in maximizing savings you're missing. This paradigm shift reframes cloud cost management as a proactive savings optimization strategy rather than reactive spend control, helping organizations unlock hidden cost efficiency through governance, automation, and continuous optimization practices. Cloud spend is up 40% year-over-year. Your CFO wants answers.

Zero Day to Fix: Why Security Response Speed-Not Discovery-Is Your Real Bottleneck | Harness Blog

Here's the uncomfortable truth about the Mythos era: knowing about a vulnerability and being able to neutralize it are two entirely different problems. AI models like Mythos are finding vulnerabilities 10x faster than humans ever could. Project Glasswing participants discovered over 10,000 high and critical vulnerabilities in their applications. Firefox alone had 271 previously unknown zero-days exposed by Mythos. That's the good news.

When Your SQL Table Outgrows Itself: Lessons from Refactoring at Scale | Harness Blog

At Harness, we build an AI-powered software delivery platform, and test result data is core to how we help engineering teams ship faster. The table that stores it started small: one row per record, all the context right there on the row. Simple, readable, and it worked. Until it didn't. This is the story of how we refactored it, what we learned, and what I'd tell you to watch for in your own systems.

Claude Code + Harness | Software Delivery for the Agent Era

Claude Code changes how fast software gets written. Harness changes whether you can trust what shipped. In this video, watch how autonomous AI agents handle end-to-end bug fixing, security remediation, and deployment verification—all within an automated Harness pipeline. From reading a ticket to running canary deployments and self-healing broken manifests, see how engineering teams can deliver software faster without sacrificing quality or security.

AI's BIGGEST Problem, They're Losing Money!

For every $1 you pay OpenAI or Anthropic, it's costing them about $1.60. AI is running at a loss — so is the whole business model broken? The full bill for AI hasn't landed yet. In this ShipTalk short, Field CTOs Adam and Martin break down the economics of generative AI: why the frontier labs lose money on every prompt, why they'd need to raise prices ~60% just to break even, and the bet the entire industry is making — that inference costs drop fast enough to catch up. Plus the Gartner forecast every CFO should see: by 2028, the AI bill could be bigger than the employment bill.

Chaos Hub in docs, Prompt Library for MCP: what's new in Resilience Testing | Harness Blog

The latest Resilience Testing documentation update brings Chaos Hub directly into the docs, making it easier to discover and use fault, probe, and action templates. It also introduces a Prompt Library with ready-to-use AI prompts for Harness MCP, helping teams run resilience workflows faster using natural language.
