Harness acquires assets from Armory for ‘next-generation’ continuous delivery

Software delivery platform provider Harness has acquired intellectual property and technology from Armory, a CD company, to expand its capabilities in that area for an enhanced developer experience and better productivity.

Armory’s CD platform is built on top of the open-source Spinnaker project, a multicloud continuous delivery platform that can accommodate high-velocity deployments. Harness CEO Jyoti Bansai told SD Times in an interview that the companies have a lot of competitive overlap but he said there is a synergy in bringing the two teams together to innovate further, adding that “we are excited to bring those people into the Harness fold.”

Secondly, he said, Harness wants to deliver to Armory’s customers a continuation of a world-class deployment and continuous delivery platform, as well as offering a path to migrate to a next-generation platform like Harness.

Bansai noted that the Armory product line will stay “mostly independent,” but Harness will “selectively cherry-pick pieces from the Armory code and technology that are interesting and we’ll add those technologies in those areas to the Harness CD platform.’

Harness, Bansai said, has been expanding heavily into a broad platform for DevOps, adding feature flags, cloud cost management, chaos engineering, and engineering insights. “We see a lot of this kind of convergence happening in the DevOps industry, with integrated broad platforms like ours emerging,” he said. 

In November, Armory announced that its Continuous Deployment-as-a-Service capabilities extend to AWS Lambda, simplifying the serverless deployment landscape. “Serverless had promise but hit a wall, and Kubernetes took over,” Adam Frank, Armory’s CMO, told SD Times at the time. “Now we’re seeing a resurgence in serverless.”

Armory, he said, also has been working to empower platform engineers to make developers’ lives easier. “We’re seeing a shift down,” he said, noting how organizations are moving toward creating internal developer platforms that integrate development life cycle tools such as CD.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
