When Faster Code Starts to Break the Delivery System | Harness Blog

Speed is exposing the cracks. Our research shows that 69% of heavy AI users now face frequent deployment issues. To capture the ROI of AI, leaders must shift focus from code generation to delivery modernization. standardizing foundations and automating the "manual middle" that leads to developer burnout. Over the last few years, something fundamental has changed in software development.

How to set up Alert Routing rules effectively

Different incidents need different levels of attention. Some need a phone call at 3 AM and others can wait until morning. Alert Routing rules are what let you act on that understanding without doing it manually every time. An effective routing setup does three things: Getting all three of these working is what makes a routing setup useful.

Infrastructure Under Scrutiny: Turning Visibility into Cost Control

A practical discussion with infrastructure leaders on how visibility is shaping cost control, renewal planning, and financial accountability across hybrid environments. Runtime: 41:32 The conversation around infrastructure has shifted. IT teams are no longer measured only on uptime or performance.

Dependency Firewall for Harness Artifact Registry

Harness Artifact Registry’s Dependency Firewall protects your software supply chain by enforcing security policies at the moment dependencies enter your environment.

The governance playbook for mid-market IT teams

The contemporary IT landscape for mid-market organizations is defined by a paradoxical pressure: the mandate to accelerate digital transformation and AI integration while operating under the most stringent cost discipline observed in decades. For firms positioned between the nimble agility of startups and the vast resources of global enterprises, the "complexity of data lineage" and "legacy modernization paralysis" have emerged as primary barriers to progress.

Beyond Mirroring: 5 Reasons Your DevOps Strategy Depends on Repository Federation

For today’s leading enterprise computing environments, the concept of “centralized headquarters” is a relic. Today, R&D happens on different continents, spanning cloud, on-prem and hybrid environments, while stretching across multiple regulatory jurisdictions. But here is the hard truth: Most global organizations are still managing their binaries using legacy mirroring or “blind” infrastructure-level syncing. They treat artifact delivery like a basic file-transfer mechanism.

6 Underused Git Commands That Save Time

Git is full of underused powers that most developers never discover. In this GitKon 2025 session, GitKraken Senior Product Manager Jonathan Silva reveals 6 lesser-known Git commands that solve real workflow pain points, from recovering lost commits to managing stashes strategically. Learn how to undo commits without losing work, recover deleted branches with git reflog, cherry-pick without immediate commits, target specific stashes, see contributor breakdowns, and more. Jonathan also demonstrates how GitKraken Desktop makes these workflows visual and intuitive.

GitKraken Explains: How AI is Changing Your Commit History

AI commit message generation is fast, accurate, and consistent. It's also missing the most important thing: the why. AI-assisted Git workflows can summarize a diff in seconds, but they optimize for description, not decision-making. In this video, we break down what AI commit messages do well, where they fall short, and how to use them without quietly erasing the context future teammates (and future you) actually need.

Making the Case for Vendor-Backed Puppet Core

Thousands of organizations rely on open source community builds for infrastructure automation. But if you're tasked with certifying, maintaining, and patching those builds yourself, you know the burden firsthand. The reality is that managing open source internally consumes time, introduces risk, and diverts resources from higher-value initiatives. When critical vulnerabilities emerge, your team scrambles to assess, test, and deploy fixes, all while keeping production environments stable.
