Harness Acquires CI Pioneer Drone.io and Commits to Open Source
Blog post from Harness
Harness's acquisition of Drone.io aims to enhance its CI/CD platform by integrating Drone's open-source, container-native CI solution, which has been supported by a robust community of over 50,000 active users and 250+ contributors. Founded by Jyoti Bansal, who is also the co-founder of Traceable and Unusual Ventures, Harness seeks to simplify software delivery for engineers and DevOps teams. The acquisition is expected to maintain Drone's open-source nature while allowing Harness to invest in the community and platform, promising to deliver a simple yet powerful CI/CD platform focused on eliminating engineering toil and complexity. Harness plans to contribute internal projects to the open-source community and ensure that the existing Drone community and customer base experience no changes. With over 100 million pulls on DockerHub, Drone's integration is seen as a strategic move to empower engineers to focus on innovation rather than the manual building of software delivery pipelines.
