Harness Internal Developer Portal Preview

Harness has released its Internal Developer Portal (IDP) in public preview, following a successful beta phase, to enhance developer self-service and streamline service management. Built on Backstage, the portal features robust security measures, powerful pipelines, and an intuitive software catalog to accelerate development workflows.

The IDP also offers scorecards for measuring service maturity, helping platform engineers enforce best practices and track progress. As part of its evolution, Harness plans to introduce custom plugins, auto-discovery of services, improved self-service flows, and deeper integration with the Harness platform. The company emphasizes collaboration with early adopters and ongoing innovation, inviting users to influence its roadmap and explore its capabilities further.
