From Chef to Chief Architect: Navigating the Intersection of AI and Data Security | Harness Blog

In the world of enterprise software, the transition from traditional DevOps to modern AI-driven delivery is less like a flip of a switch and more like a high-stakes kitchen. As Devan Shah, Chief Architect at IBM, puts it: the ingredients have changed from food to code, but the need for a precise, governed process remains the same.

Open Source Liquibase MongoDB Native Executor by Harness | Harness Blog

Harness is strengthening the open Liquibase ecosystem by introducing a native MongoDB executor that removes long-standing limitations for Community Edition users. It enables teams to run MongoDB scripts, generate changelogs, and integrate database workflows into CI/CD without relying on paid extensions. The initiative reinforces open collaboration while making MongoDB-based database DevOps more accessible, consistent, and production-ready.

Top Continuous Integration Metrics Every Platform Engineering Leader Should Track | Harness Blog

Track build duration, queue time, success rate, and cost per build to directly improve developer productivity, control costs, and enhance delivery reliability. Standardize pipeline metadata and automate metric collection to turn raw CI data into actionable insights across teams, services, and cost centers. Pair metrics with intelligent caching, optimized testing, and build acceleration to reduce build times and operational costs while maintaining security standards.

Unit Testing in CI/CD: How to Accelerate Builds Without Sacrificing Quality | Harness Blog

Smart test selection, parallel test runs, and intelligent caching can all speed up builds without sacrificing code quality. Fast, focused, and separate unit tests are very important for quick development. They give you feedback right away and make it easier to refactor with confidence. Unit tests are a quick and cheap way to find logic errors, but they can't check how different parts work together. For full coverage, use them with integration tests and end-to-end tests.

"Crown Jewels In, Crown Jewels Out" - The Hidden Risk of AI

How do you secure data in the age of Agentic AI? In this episode of ShipTalk, Dewan Ahmed sits down with Devan Shah, Chief Architect of Data Security at IBM, to explore the massive shift from traditional DevOps to AI-infused software delivery. Devan shares his journey from being a chef to leading an "army" of 450+ developers at IBM. They dive deep into the technical bedrock of IBM’s "OnePipeline" (built on Tekton and Argo CD), the rise of Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), and the architectural principles required to ship AI features without compromising security or compliance.

Powering Harness Executions Page: Inside Our Flexible Filters Component | Harness Blog

Filtering data is at the heart of developer productivity. Whether you’re looking for failed builds, debugging a service or analysing deployment patterns, the ability to quickly slice and dice execution data is critical. At Harness, users across CI, CD and other modules rely on filtering to navigate complex execution data by status, time range, triggers, services and much more.

NoSQL Change Control for Compliance | Harness Blog

NoSQL change control must be integrated into CI/CD to ensure governance, traceability, and deployment safety, while automated versioning, testing, and rollbacks reduce compliance risk and preserve release velocity, enabling structured database DevOps to scale innovation without compromising reliability or audit readiness.
