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.

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.
