Meet the new Harness Plugin for Cursor, you can now bring the software delivery outerloop and have it meet your innerloop for development all in your Cursour IDE.

Stop context-switching between your IDE and your CI/CD dashboards. In this video, we demonstrate the new Harness Cursor Plugin, a native integration that brings the full power of the Harness AI Software Delivery Platform directly into Cursor. Using the Cursor Agent window and the new Harness Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, you can now manage your entire software delivery lifecycle through natural language. From triggering pipelines to governing deployments, this plugin ensures you stay in your flow while maintaining enterprise-grade security and control.

Welcome to the Season 4 finale of the Ship Talk podcast! Join special host Thomas Dockstader and several industry leaders at AWS re:Invent to discuss the intersection of AI and software delivery. The following is a series of interviews with partners, customers, and engineering leaders on the front lines of AI transformation. Don't miss the "Ship It or Skip It" segment, where our guests give their rapid-fire takes on everything from AI code reviews to the four-day work week.

In this video, we introduce Harness Resilience Testing and show you how to move beyond once-a-year DR drills to a continuously validated, pipeline-driven process. You'll see how Harness lets you validate regional failovers, check database replication lag under pressure, and confirm your hot standbys genuinely take over live traffic, all in one place. We also walk through a live DR test execution, showing exactly how Harness triggers the full failover sequence, runs every validation step automatically, and gives you a clear pass or fail result in real time.

Stop treating system outages like surprises and start preparing for them. While traditional software testing is the bedrock of development, using unit, integration, and regression tests to verify that code meets specific requirements, it only accounts for what we expect to happen. Chaos Engineering takes a different approach by shifting the focus from bug prevention to system resilience. Instead of asking "does this work?", Chaos Engineering asks "how does this survive?" by injecting real-world turbulence like network latency or pod failures directly into production-like environments.

Before you deploy, you need to know if your application can handle real-world traffic. In this video, we break down the 5 essential load testing metrics: Response Time (latency), Throughput (requests per second), Error Rates (system stability), Resource Utilization (CPU/Memory bottlenecks), and User Concurrency. Whether you're into Software Engineering, DevOps, or SRE, understanding these System Design fundamentals is the only way to prevent server crashes and ensure Software Scalability.

Struggling with disaster recovery planning? Learn the simple difference between RTO and RPO, the two most important metrics every developer, DevOps engineer, and SRE must understand. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) tells you exactly how long your systems can stay down before it hurts your business. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) shows how much recent data you can afford to lose in an outage.

Discover the 7 most important types of load testing that every developer, DevOps engineer, and QA team should know in 2026. Whether you're building scalable applications, preparing for traffic surges, or ensuring system reliability, understanding these load testing types is essential for modern software performance testing. In this quick video from Harness, we break down.

Recorded at @DevOpsLive In today’s fast-paced software landscape, releasing new features is no longer just about speed - it’s about control, confidence, and measurable impact. Combining Feature Flag Management and Experimentation enables teams to deliver innovation safely, experiment in real time, and understand what truly resonates with users. Whether you’re scaling a platform, launching a new product, or simply looking to innovate faster, FME offers a proven way to ship with confidence and learn continuously from your users.

Recorded at @DevOpsLive Most teams have “done DevOps” and “built a platform,” but still wrestle with the same core problems: platforms that developers dodge, AI that accelerates coding while quietly degrading delivery performance, security and compliance that can’t keep up, cloud bills that keep climbing, and incident response that hasn’t caught up with cloud‑native complexity.

Are you tired of slow, expensive, and ineffective Change Advisory Board (CAB) meetings? In this video, Eric Minick from Harness explores the evolution of release management and how to transition from traditional manual approvals to a streamlined, automated DevOps approach. What You'll Learn: Whether you are a release manager or a DevOps engineer, learn how to build a reliable audit trail while accelerating your software delivery.

In this episode of "ShipTalk: Engineering Excellence," host Thomas Dockstader sits down with Ron Miller, editor at Fast Forward, to discuss the real-world impact of AI on software development. They dive deep into the maturity of AI-driven code, the rise of the "citizen developer," and why traditional writing and communication skills are becoming the new must-have for modern engineers.

Load testing and stress testing are two important parts of performance testing, but they serve very different purposes. Load testing checks how your application behaves when many users access it at the same time under normal or expected conditions. It helps you understand if your system can handle real-world traffic smoothly without slowing down.

Discover how leading engineering teams proactively build rock-solid applications using Chaos Engineering. Learn why waiting for real outages is risky and how intentionally injecting controlled failures like pod crashes, network latency, and node restarts helps uncover hidden weaknesses before they impact your users. In this short, explore the simple yet powerful practice that turns fragile systems into resilient ones and how Harness makes running chaos experiments effortless and safe with its intuitive Resilience Testing module.

Learn how to enable self-service environments with an internal developer portal (IDP) and CI/CD automation. You’ve automated deployments with Harness CD, but what about the environments those deployments run on? In this quick demo, see how Harness Environment Management completes the picture by making environments self-service, standardized, and fully lifecycle-managed. Together, CD + Environment Management close the loop on modern software delivery.

Learn the clear difference between performance testing and load testing in this quick video. Performance testing checks how well your software works under different conditions like speed, stability, and scalability. Load testing focuses only on how the system handles expected user traffic. If you want to build reliable applications, knowing these two helps you test smarter. Perfect for developers, testers, and QA teams.

AI coding assistants help you ship code faster, but where do the bottlenecks go? They move downstream: into security, deployment, and cost controls. In this short video, Dewan Ahmed highlights how Harness’s March updates deliver closed-loop AI velocity by targeting those downstream stages.
