Introducing The Heroes of Continuous Delivery
At Harness, we’re empowering developers to move fast without breaking things.
Harness is a CI/CD platform that simplifies the entire software delivery process. Which is why empowerment is a large part of our work at Harness as it allows us to get ship done.
Empowerment is about autonomy, self-determination, and enablement, not only for individuals but also for communities. It enables entire organizations to take control of their processes and spend time on things that matter. Empowerment is also something to be shared with others within and across teams.
Recognizing Developers and Practitioners
In order to celebrate the leaders, the visionaries, the contributors, and the empowered, Harness is launching the Heroes of Continuous Delivery program.
Through the program, we share the accomplishments of industry professionals by recognizing their software delivery journey, insights, and expertise.
This year we recognized eight professionals as Heroes of Continuous Delivery. These individuals enable CD throughout their organizations, utilizing the best of their tools, automating their deployments, and ensuring scale and security throughout their organizations. We are happy to recognize these individuals empowering software delivery teams to accelerate beyond transformations, migrations, toil, and much more.

Another aspect of the Heroes of Continuous Delivery program is its visual design.

This year we’re happy to share our mission with artists such as Ashton Rodenhiser from MindEyeCreativeConsulting and Ajinda (@ajinda).
Continuous Delivery Expertise Highlighted
We interviewed our eight practitioners across Engineering, DevOps, SRE, and Engineering Leadership roles to share insights into how they solved the challenges of Continuous Delivery within their organizations and careers. This work will be featured in our Continuous Delivery ebook coming in October.
