Building for the Agentic Era: Engineering Excellence at Harness | Harness Blog

As AI agents become ubiquitous across the software development lifecycle, engineering teams must do more than adopt new tools; they must redesign how they build, verify, and operate software. This post distills the vision, priorities, and best practices that guide engineering excellence at Harness. Different products sit at the heart of the Harness platform.

Claude Opus 4.7 Pricing In 2026: What It Actually Costs (And Whether It's Worth It)

Claude Opus 4.7 holds at $5/$25 per million tokens — but a new tokenizer inflates costs up to 35% on identical text. Here's what Opus 4.7 actually costs at production scale, how it compares to Sonnet 4.6, and the six levers that determine where your bill lands.

Introducing o11y-bench: an open benchmark for AI agents running observability workflows

Evaluating agents is hard. Verifying observability tasks is harder. Yes, AI agents have gotten dramatically and quantifiably better at coding and tool use, but observability presents a different kind of challenge. In a real incident, the hard part is rarely just writing a query. It's deciding which signal matters, figuring out whether a spike is noise or symptom, correlating metrics with logs and traces, and sometimes making a change in Grafana without breaking the dashboard another engineer depends on.

AI Observability in Grafana Cloud: A complete solution for monitoring your agentic workloads

The observability industry has developed great tools for using metrics, logs, traces, and profiles to monitor the cloud native applications that have dominated the last decade of software development. But when it comes to understanding what an AI system is actually doing, we’re often left reading raw conversations, guessing at quality, and reacting too late. And that’s a problem.

Stop Fighting Your Mouse: How I Traded "Drafting Slavery" for Real Restaurant Design

I've spent the better part of twelve years in the hospitality design trenches. If there's one truth I've brought back from the front lines, it's this: the soul of a restaurant is decided long before the chef ever steps into the kitchen. It's won or lost in your Restaurant Floor Plan.

Managing Digital Display Infrastructure in Multi-Location Businesses

For businesses with many locations-like busy retail chains or large office campuses-managing digital display systems is more than a tech upgrade. It's a business need. You must coordinate hardware, software, content, and internet connections across different sites so every screen shows the right message at the right time. When it's done well, separate screens work together as one clear communication system for both employees and customers, no matter the location.

How Polyurethane Casting Factories Protect Client Intellectual Property

Urethane casting has become a go-to solution for prototyping and low-volume production in today's fast-paced manufacturing. It enables engineers and companies to quickly turn ideas into functional parts for design validation, testing, and market entry. Yet when clients hand over detailed CAD models, proprietary designs, and process specifications to a casting factory, intellectual property (IP) protection is above all others. A single leak or misuse can erode competitive advantage, cause financial losses, and damage hard-earned brand reputation.
