Harness is an end-to-end developer platform and DevOps orchestration tool designed to automate software build, test, and deployment pipelines. It functions as a CI/CD platform and a source code management system for hosting and managing version-controlled repositories.
The platform provides a remote development environment that launches ephemeral, cloud-based coding spaces to ensure standardized setups. It also includes a centralized artifact registry for storing and managing versioned binary packages and container images used in delivery pipelines.
The system covers broad capability areas including CI/CD pipeline automation, artifact registry management, and source code management. These services are accessible through a command-line interface and a REST API for external automation and integration.
