Building the Next Phase of Harness's AI Engineering Organization in India

Over the past year, Harness’s India organization has entered a new phase of growth – one defined not just by scale, but by increasing technical depth and impact. What began as steady expansion has turned into real momentum across engineering, product, and operations. Today, 480 people work in India, contributing across every major product area. In 2025 alone, the team in India grew by more than 75%, and now each core Harness product offering has a strong engineering presence in the region.

Document Automation Best Practices for DevOps Reporting and Compliance

DevOps has streamlined how teams build, test, and deploy software, but reporting and compliance often remain outside the automated pipeline. Release summaries, test reports, and audit records are still frequently created manually, pulled from scattered tools, and updated only when needed. This slows delivery and increases the risk of inconsistency, especially as systems and compliance requirements grow more complex. To scale DevOps sustainably, documentation can no longer be treated as an afterthought-it needs to become a reliable, automated output of the pipeline itself.

Harness AI For Everything After Coding

AI didn’t just change how we write code. It changed everything that comes after. Application teams are shipping more code than ever with AI — but 70% of the work still happens after coding: testing, security, deployment, optimization, and keeping everything moving. As coding gets faster, delivery becomes the bottleneck. That’s where Harness comes in.

CTO Predictions for 2026: How AI Will Change Software Development | ShipTalk S4E7 Special Episode

In this special ShipTalk episode, host Dewan Ahmed (Principal Developer Advocate, Harness) sits down with @Harnessio Field CTO Nick Durkin for spicy—but practical—2026 predictions across AI, software delivery, DevSecOps, MLOps, and developer experience. Will we see the first “AI-caused meltdown”? Are AI “confidence scores” even trustworthy? Is 2026 the year of AI cleanup crews and recovery engineering? Nick’s take: the answer isn’t more gates—it’s guardrails, policy in the pipeline, and teams operating with the same “rulebook.”

Introducing Real-Time Conversations with Netdata AI

Over the past few months, we’ve seen incredible adoption of our AI Investigations and Insights reports. Teams are using them to automate the deep, thoughtful analysis required for complex post-mortems, capacity planning, and performance optimization. These comprehensive reports are fantastic when you need a well-researched, shareable document. But what about the moments during an investigation?

CTO Predictions for 2026: Special ShipTalk Episode with Nick Durkin

AI will not fix broken software delivery. It will expose it. By 2026, teams that win will use specialist AI agents, guardrails over gates, and security built directly into the pipeline. As we look toward 2026, it is becoming clear that AI is not just changing how code is written. It is changing how software delivery itself works. The real shift is happening at the intersection of AI, security, and developer experience, where speed, risk, and responsibility now collide.

Load Testing Kafka #speedscale #kafka #loadtesting

Message brokers are a critical component of modern distributed systems, facilitating asynchronous communication between services. Load testing message broker integrations requires special considerations since the interaction patterns differ from traditional HTTP-based APIs. Speedscale provides specialized tooling to help you load test applications that integrate with message brokers by.
