Reduce CI Costs Without Slowing Down Development | Harness Blog
Continuous integration (CI) costs can escalate quickly as engineering teams scale. While most organizations focus on cloud bills, the true cost of CI includes slow build times, developer wait time, inefficient test execution, and overprovisioned infrastructure. CI cost optimization is the practice of reducing the total cost of CI pipelines by improving build efficiency, minimizing compute usage, and eliminating unnecessary work without slowing down development.
Why Artifact Repository Sprawl Slows Down Software Delivery | Harness Blog
Three weeks into a platform modernization project, this question landed in my inbox: "Why does our deployment pipeline take 40 minutes instead of four?" This is artifact repository sprawl in practice, and it does more than slow pipelines. It fragments your security posture, your compliance evidence, and your ability to answer basic questions like "what's actually running in production right now?".
Mini Shai-Hulud Explained: How the TanStack and RubyGems Supply Chain Attacks Worked | Harness Blog
Shai-Hulud is back - this time being lighter, faster and more automated than before. This new wave, termed as Mini Shai-Hulud, has affected a number of packages from tanstack, uipath, opensearch-project and mistralai among others over the past few weeks, with the latest series of major compromises coming on 19th May, 2026 on major organizations openclaw-cn and antv. Check an extensive list of affected packages here.

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.
What a Context Graph Actually Is, and How to Build One | Harness Blog
Engineers have been shipping pieces of "the graph" for years. Service maps. Dependency graphs. Knowledge graphs. RDF triples. The newest entrant is the context graph, and the reason it shows up now is specific: software is increasingly executed by agents, and agents need a model of how work actually happens, not just an index of what exists.
Core Java vs Enterprise Java: Jakarta EE, Spring Boot & Modern Trade-offs [2026 Guide] | Harness Blog
When you're architecting an enterprise Java application, one decision quietly shapes everything downstream: runtime footprint, deployment pipelines, and how your platform team handles incidents at 3 a.m. For two decades, that decision was framed as Java SE vs Java EE. In 2026, that framing has quietly inverted.
AI, Platforms, and the Future of Value Delivery: A Conversation with ServiceNow
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.
Automated Release Management: From CABs to Continuous Delivery | Harness Blog
The thing with Change Advisory Boards is that the intent was always good. Get smart people in a room, look at the evidence, and make sure nothing catastrophic goes out the door. In theory, that's hard to argue with. It doesn't scale in practice. Things happen between meetings. Teams rush to hit the window. The CAB meeting may not catch every risky deployment, but at least everyone can feel good about the process before the incident happens. Automated release management asks a different question entirely.
AI Asked Our General Counsel Anything. She Didn't Hold Back.
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.
