Harness The AI-Native Software Delivery Platform™

What is Harness?

Harness positions itself as the world's first AI-native software delivery platform, engineered to assist development and operations teams in achieving engineering excellence. It provides an integrated suite of tools designed to modernize DevOps practices, enhance developer experience, implement secure software delivery protocols, and optimize cloud expenditures. The platform leverages AI across the software delivery lifecycle (SDLC) to automate tasks, provide insights, and improve overall efficiency.

The platform encompasses various modules covering Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Delivery (CD) & GitOps, Feature Management, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Management, Chaos Engineering, and more. It aims to streamline workflows, reduce manual intervention, and provide governance and security guardrails. Harness integrates with numerous existing tools and cloud environments, facilitating deployment automation, security testing orchestration, and cost management within a unified interface. AI capabilities are embedded to simplify pipeline management, assist with code generation and testing, and automate test creation.
