Summary

Harness has significantly enhanced the Drone project by introducing a new user experience, a CI pipeline visualizer, a real-time debugger, and user management features, effectively doubling its engineering investment and providing enterprise support to improve continuous integration for developers. These advancements, which come just over six months after Drone joined the Harness family, are aimed at simplifying the developer self-service experience for continuous integration. The upgrades include a revamped interface to create a seamless experience for users of both Drone for CI and Harness for CD, an improved dashboard with build times and charts for better visibility of build failures, and a graph view for visualizing complex CI pipelines. Additionally, a real-time debugger allows developers to quickly inspect and debug failed pipelines, while new user management screens simplify user oversight, with upcoming enhancements planned for role-based access control and governance.
