Harness

Final day of Google Cloud Next 🔥 Booth 3107 has been buzzing all week with packed demos, great chats, and awesome SWAG. If you haven’t swung through yet, today’s your last shot. Also this morning: Field CTO Martin Reynolds is taking the stage for “The Future of Developer Experience is Frictionless” at 8:30 AM. See you out there!

Fast Company just published a great piece on how Anthropic is using Claude as an internal operating system for work, and it's an interesting look at how fast AI is changing the way teams function. Our Field CTO Nick Durkin adds an important dimension: The speed is real. The productivity gains are real. But for most enterprises, that's only half the story. Getting AI into production safely, reliably, and consistently with audit trails, separation of duties, and compliance baked in, that's where most teams actually get stuck. That's exactly the problem Harness is built to solve. 📖 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/ezp7CBm2

🏆 This was such a great way to start an impactful week at Google Cloud Next! Being named a 2026 Google Cloud Technology Partner of the Year in DevOps reflects the depth of our partnership with Google Cloud Partners — and the work we’re doing together to bring AI into the software delivery lifecycle. Thank you to our friends at Google Cloud and to the Harness team for their incredible work this year. We’re just getting started! #GoogleCloudPartners #GoogleCloudPartnerAwards

There are a handful of people who genuinely shaped how the DevOps community thinks. Gene Kim is one of them. The Phoenix Project, The DevOps Handbook, and his latest book, Vibe Coding have influenced how engineering teams operate for over a decade. At the DevEx Summit on May 13, he's closing the day with a keynote that goes beyond "AI makes teams faster." He'll lay out what actually defines a high-performing engineering org after AI adoption — how to align it with platform discipline, improve DevEx in a meaningful way, and build performance that outlasts the hype.

☁️ What a great day at #GoogleCloudNext! 🙌 Huge thank you to everyone who stopped by booth 3107. 😀 We’re back tomorrow, come see how we’re solving the AI Velocity Paradox.

Tech isn’t just code and APIs. It starts with curiosity, the kind that makes you take something apart just to see how it works, and the nerve to try putting it back together. For some, it started early, like trying to revive a family PC with Linux in sixth grade. For others, it took shape over time, in rooms where they were the only one who looked like them. Prerana Singhal sat down with women across our engineering and security teams to talk about what it really takes to go from beginner to building the future of technology. These stories aren’t about talent or “natural ability.” They’re about sticking with it: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gVB3TFv9

🎷 What happens in Vegas… ends up on LinkedIn. Last night’s happy hour at Google Cloud Next brought the energy with live jazz from The Apollo Trio, a full house, and conversations that went way too late into the evening with Google Cloud and Suger. We’re here at Next all week—come find us at Booth #3107.

Day 1 at Google Cloud Next and we’re not slowing down! 🚀 Harness is integrating Google Cloud’s Developer Connect into the Harness Software Delivery Knowledge Graph — the first truly unified, semantic data context for the enterprise SDLC. By bridging our metadata graphs with GKE analyzer logs and deployment node APIs, we’re taking fragmented data and turning it into a single, actionable source of truth. Harness pipelines now live as first-class nodes in a unified graph — accessible via API and MCP Server — giving joint customers an AI-ready view of their entire cloud estate. Yesterday, Harness won 2026 Google Cloud Technology Partner of the Year in DevOps. Today at Next, we showed everyone why. At Next?

🎉 BREAKING NEWS: Harness has been named the 2026 Google Cloud Technology Partner of the Year in Application Development — DevOps by Google Cloud! This reflects a year of deep integration that's changing how enterprise teams ship software. We brought the Harness MCP Server into Gemini, became early adopters of Google’s Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, and embedded Harness AI into the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform — all to meet developers where they work and make human-AI collaboration seamless across the software delivery lifecycle. For joint customers, that means a unified, AI-ready view of the SDLC, not just faster pipelines, but smarter decisions grounded in real context across code, deployments, and infrastructure. Thank you to Google Cloud and to the Harness teams across Partnerships, Marketing, Product, and Engineering for making this happen. At Google Cloud Next this week? Stop by Booth #3107 for a demo!

GitOps is easy to start… but much harder to scale. Many teams hit what we call the “Argo ceiling”: 👉 Limited visibility across environments 👉 Increasing debugging complexity 👉 Challenges coordinating across clusters and teams Join Cassie Espinosa (Souza) and Eric Minick from Harness on April 29 at 10:00 AM PT to learn how to scale GitOps effectively.
