{unscripted} IDP Knowledge Agent

We're making Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) more accessible with a natural language assistant. Developers can ask questions like, "What are the failing checks for my service's scorecard?" or "Who is the owner of a service?" to find metadata instantly. The agent also bridges the gap to action by suggesting and executing self-service workflows, like creating a new repo or onboarding a new engineer. It can even assist in generating new workflows, turning complex processes into simple conversational tasks.

{unscripted} AI Verification and Rollback

Our first AI/ML capability, Continuous Verification, made Harness the first Continuous Delivery tool to understand observability telemetry and trigger rollbacks when deployments caused trouble. We knew we could do more to eliminate the friction involved in its setup. Deploying with confidence shouldn't require a coordination meeting between DevOps, SREs, and developers just to configure the right health checks. That’s why we’re introducing the next generation: AI Verification and Rollback.

{unscripted} AI in Chaos Engineering

Harness AI enhances your chaos engineering capabilities by leveraging artificial intelligence to automate and optimize reliability testing and analysis. One of the challenges of scaling up the Chaos Engineering practice within the organization is skilling up the users to create or run chaos experiments and to come up with solutions to mitigate the risks that are identified during the chaos experiment execution. The Chaos Engineering module comes with an AI Agent called "AI Reliability Agent" that helps in these aspects.

API World 2025: Growth, Memories, and Next Steps

A couple of weeks ago, our team returned from API World. We’ve officially had a few weeks to decompress and get back into the swing of things after an incredible time at API World 2025. Looking back, the experience was even more rewarding than I had imagined in my Pre-API World blog. This year was especially memorable for me, as I had the opportunity to attend my first tech conference and travel across the country for work. I’m still buzzing from everything I learned and the people I met.

Deployment of AWS Step Functions with Lambda and CircleCI

In this guide, you will build and deploy a serverless data processing workflow using AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda. This approach enables you to orchestrate discrete processing tasks in a scalable and cost-efficient way, leveraging the event-driven architecture that AWS offers. You will begin by creating individual Lambda functions that handle specific tasks in your data pipeline.

New in Flyway: Pre and post deployment scripts for state-based deployments via callbacks

Flyway provides a lot of flexibility for releasing database changes in a safe and repeatable manner. Earlier this year, we added the ability to automate state-based deployments. This means the structure of the database is defined in version control and Flyway handles updating a target database to match it. The Flyway comparison engine does all the hard work of identifying what’s different and creating a script that will run on the target database to alter it so it matches the latest state.

Building community-first brands ft. Edreece Arghandiwal, CMO & Co-Founder of Oakland Roots SC

In this special episode of The Confident Commit, Rob Zuber sits down with Edreece Arghandiwal, CMO and Co-Founder of Oakland Roots Soccer Club, for an inspiring conversation about building purpose-driven organizations from the ground up. Edreece shares how the Roots challenged traditional sports business models by putting community first, turning a simple question—"Why isn't there professional soccer in Oakland?"—into a movement that raised $3.5 million from 6,000+ community investors with zero paid advertising.
