Harness Database DevOps emerged from the need to make database delivery as seamless and reliable as application delivery, aiming to integrate developers, DBAs, and DevOps into a single automated workflow. The platform was developed through collaboration, research, and feedback, focusing on addressing the disconnect between application and database delivery cycles, which were traditionally handled in silos with manual processes. By leveraging existing tools like Liquibase and integrating them into a CI/CD framework, Harness sought to offer features like schema migration automation, policy compliance, and audit trails while maintaining flexibility to accommodate diverse organizational workflows. The product's development emphasized empathy-driven engineering, ensuring that database changes could be automated, visible, and governed without compromising speed or reliability, thus fostering trust between developers and data teams. The platform's evolution involved extensive testing and feedback from participants, which refined its capabilities to include features such as migration state tracking and rollback mechanisms, ultimately contributing to a more modernized approach to database management within the DevOps ecosystem.
