See how to configure Harness so that OPA policies are evaluated in your infrastructure.

This example hows how to use Harness CI/CD to build a Cobol application and deploy it to a mainframe running z/OS. We leverage IBM DBB and Wazi Deploy in this example.

How do enterprises turn AI from experimental potential into real-world software delivery value — without slowing down, breaking security, or sacrificing reliability? At {unscripted} 2025, Amit Zavery — President, Chief Product Officer, and COO of ServiceNow — joined Harness CEO and Founder Jyoti Bansal for a candid fireside chat on the future of AI in the enterprise, the role of platforms in unlocking developer productivity, and why"AI-native" only works when speed, security, and reliability move together.

What happens when AI interviews a tech leader? You get unexpectedly honest answers. Harness General Counsel Hanna Steinbach sat down with ChatGPT — and skipped the corporate script. From the realities of parenting while leading a legal team at a high-growth startup, to the daily habits that keep her grounded, this is the kind of candid leadership perspective you rarely see. Oh, and she's definitely the person sprinting to the gate right as boarding starts.

Most engineers can recite these three terms. Fewer know how they actually connect during a load test. If your team is running performance tests without mapping results to SLOs, you're collecting data without a pass/fail signal. This short gives you the mental model to turn load test output into something your SLA can actually depend on.

Having backups doesn't mean you have disaster recovery. And that gap could kill your business. Backups are just data snapshots stored safely for restoration when files get corrupted or deleted. Disaster recovery is your complete operational playbook for bringing back servers, applications, networks, and entire infrastructure after catastrophic failures. You can restore every byte of data from backup and still watch your business stay offline for hours or days because you lack the recovery procedures, failover systems, and tested runbooks to actually get operations running again.

April was a big month at Harness. AI is changing how code gets written — and the rest of the SDLC is catching up. In this update, Dewan Ahmed walks through Harness product releases across three themes: AI in the developer workflow, security and governance for AI assets, and self-service maturity for developers and platform teams.

Want to start chaos engineering? Don't randomly break stuff and hope for the best. Real chaos engineering starts with defining your system's steady state metrics like latency, throughput, and error rates. Then you form a clear hypothesis about what should happen when failures occur. Next, you inject controlled failures, starting small with single pod kills or network drops, not production meltdowns. Finally, you limit the blast radius by running experiments in safe environments first.
