Build Numbers That Actually Make Sense: Branch-Scoped Sequence IDs in Harness CI | Harness Blog

You're tagging Docker images with build numbers. -Build is your latest production release on main. A developer pushes a hotfix to release-v2.1, that run becomes build. -Another merges to develop, build. A week later someone asks: "What build number are we on for production?" You check the registry. -You see,,, on main. The numbers in between? Scattered across feature branches that may never ship. Your build numbers have stopped telling a useful story.

Women's Day Panel: Navigating the Future of Engineering in the Age of AI

How is AI reshaping engineering—and what does it mean for the future of work? At our first GTA Boston Hub event of the year, we brought together engineering leaders from Boston Consulting Group and Athenahealth to dive into one of the most pressing topics today: the rise of generative AI. In this panel, we explore: Key takeaway: This isn’t “human vs AI”—it’s human augmented by AI. The real advantage lies in how we adapt, collaborate, and lead in this new era.

Creating an Incident Response Plan

When it comes to emergencies, it's not if something will happen, it's when.

Prevention is an important step, but being prepared for when the worst happens could save valuable time, money, and information from being lost.

Arazzo vs Traditional Chatbots: What Actually Works?

What happens when you give an AI agent hundreds of API endpoints and hope it figures out the right workflow? Spoiler: it nearly gets it right... but never reliably. In this talk, Frank Kilcommins (Head of Enterprise Architecture at Jentik and co-author of the Arazzo Specification) breaks down why API documentation quality is the core knowledge problem holding agentic systems back (and how Arazzo solves it).
