Transform your DevSecOps with Harness AI and Google Cloud

Oct 30, 2025 By Bala Venkatrao In Harness
Teams have always been under pressure to deliver software faster. But here's what we've learned from working with thousands of engineering teams: writing the code has never been the real bottleneck. It's everything that happens after - the testing, security scans, deployments, and optimizations that determine whether your innovations actually reach customers quickly and reliably. Even in the era of AI, the speed boost is uneven, creating the AI Velocity Paradox.

Protecting Production from a VP

Oct 19, 2025 By Eric Minick In Harness
The rise of AI coding assistants means new "developers" in many organizations. Your safety nets (and on ramps) need to be built with citizen developers in mind. Innovation is moving faster than ever. That’s great. With AI code generation accelerating professional developers and the rise of "citizen developers" thanks to tools like vibe-coding, we’re seeing more code written today than ever before.

Industry Reports Agree: DevOps is the Key to Unlocking AI's Potential

Oct 14, 2025 By Eric Minick In Harness
Recent industry research shows that AI is accelerating code creation, but having mixed results downstream. They also show that better platforms and pipelines yield better outcomes for teams adopting AI for coding. Every engineering leader I talk to is asking the same questions about AI coding assistants: How much faster can we ship? How much more productive can my developers be? On the surface, the answers look pretty good.

A 5-step enterprise guide to IaCM

Oct 13, 2025 By Richard Black In Harness
As enterprises scale, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) alone isn’t enough to manage the growing complexity of modern infrastructure. Infrastructure as Code Management (IaCM) elevates IaC into a strategic, governed, and automated framework, providing centralized control, compliance, and collaboration at scale. Platforms like Harness IaCM make this transformation practical, turning infrastructure chaos into consistent, secure, and efficient operations.

Bridging the Gap Between Finance & Engineering: The Harness Playbook

Oct 10, 2025 By Kelsey Rosen In Harness
Most cloud waste isn’t technical, it’s organizational. Harness brings finance and engineering together with FinOps practices that connect spend to outcomes, not blame. The result: 30%+ savings and alignment that scales. In too many cloud organizations, finance and engineering operate like two planets in orbit. Finance speaks in forecasts, budgets, billing codes. Engineering speaks in uptime, latency, error rates. The result?
