Harness Named a Leader in DevOps Platforms by Independent Research Firm, Q2 2025 Evaluation
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Harness, the AI DevOps Platform™ Company, today announced it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: DevOps Platforms, Q2 2025. Harness received the highest possible scores in the "AI Infusion", "Innovation", and "Vision" criteria. In its evaluation, Forrester noted that Harness has "a vision of AI throughout the SDLC, a focus on security, and cloud cost self-service tools [that] bring a strong mix of business value and developer experience." "For us, this recognition from Forrester is a major validation of the platform we've built and the strategy we're executing – one that infuses AI into every aspect of software delivery, to simplify and accelerate it for every engineering team," said Jyoti Bansal, CEO and co-founder of Harness. "Enterprises are under pressure to deliver software faster without compromising quality or security, and AI is the key to achieving that. Harness is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of every software engineering team." The Forrester Wave™ evaluates 11 of the most significant DevOps providers across 26 criteria, ranking them based on their current offering, strategy, and customer feedback. Harness received the highest scores possible across 14 criteria, including: Build Automation and CI: delivering fast, reliable build and deployment automation at scale, with advanced support for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. AI infusion: empowering developers, operators, and leaders with intelligent assistance for debugging, testing, release engineering, and governance. Infrastructure as Code and Environment Management: with seamless integration into major IaC tools and Kubernetes for robust cloud-native automation. Innovation and Vision: driven by a differentiated roadmap, strong developer tooling, and forward-looking investments in Database DevOps, self-service FinOps, and modular extensibility. The Forrester report noted, "Customers felt they got the excellent attention they needed and had more influence on the roadmap than they might have had with a larger vendor." "Harness has been a great partner in our DevOps journey," said Steve Day, CTO of National Australia Bank (NAB). "Their team moves fast, listens closely, and delivers real value. We've always seen them as a leader in this space, and it's great to see that reflected in Forrester's latest Wave." This recognition marks a major milestone in Harness's evolution, reinforcing its role in helping engineering teams move faster without compromise. As enterprises adopt AI, modernize infrastructure, and reduce developer toil, Harness offers a consistent foundation for governance, policy, and streamlined automation across the software delivery lifecycle. Following its recent merger with Traceable and prior acquisition of Split, Harness continues to expand its reach as the only AI DevOps solution built to unify the entire software delivery lifecycle – from build to deploy, from test to secure.

We were oh so close at ODT Odds On last weekend brought to you by the best little Sports Bar going round the Baaa. Our Gallops tipster got Windrush up in a canter at $3s at Te Rapa to get us underway with a bang. Our Harness tipster just missed picking two winners from three and our sports tipster missed his last leg in the sports multi in the NRL(how many times do I have to tell him??). Harty's wildcard missed but he did tip out a $10 place bet. Stick with us this weekend we will get up.

Club's £10 tickets for steel worker 'solidarity'
Scunthorpe United offered reduced price tickets for British Steel workers on Saturday to show "solidarity" with employees at risk of redundancy. British Steel launched a consultation on the proposed closure of its two Scunthorpe blast furnaces on Thursday, putting up to 2,700 jobs at risk out of a workforce of 3,500. The National League North side, whose nickname is The Iron due to the area's long association with the iron and steel industry, offered British Steel employees £10 tickets for their home tie against Southport. Michelle Harness, Scunthorpe United chair, described the recent news as "devastating" for those involved. British Steel said the blast furnaces were "no longer financially sustainable" due to tough market conditions, the imposition of tariffs and higher environmental costs. The BBC understands the company was expecting a £1bn injection of government money to keep the business going, but was offered £500m. "It's devastating for the families," Ms Harness said. "Last week 8,000 [fans] turned up, a large percentage of those must be Scunthorpe steel workers. "The whole history of the steelworks revolves around the town, the club revolves around the town - we're linked together." She continued: "We went through nearly losing the football club, now I just hope somehow they find some result to their problems." Scunthorpe United supporter Kimberley Plastow said: "This town would be dead if we didn't have steel workers, it's what we're about. "Is anyone going to step in and help our town?" She added: "It'll end up as a ghost town, we'll have no one here, no one's going to be able to afford houses." Another fan, Sarah Feve, urged people to "get behind the steel workers". "We just need the steelworks open and working for this town," she said. On the pitch, the league leaders secured a 2-0 win against Southport at the Attis Arena.
