Modern Mainframe DevOps: Automate CI/CD for z/OS Application

Platform Engineering teams aim to build secure, scalable internal developer platforms to accelerate time-to-market, but mainframe applications often remain isolated, causing operational challenges. These legacy systems, often updated at a slower pace, are integral to modern enterprise software, where a single feature might involve various technology stacks. To address this, integrating mainframe applications into a unified developer platform alongside cloud-native services can mitigate risks and reduce technical debt. By using modern CI/CD tools, such as IBM DBB and Wazi Deploy, teams can automate and secure mainframe deployments, enabling a seamless orchestration across both distributed and mainframe pipelines. Harness's platform offers a comprehensive solution by providing Enterprise Release Orchestration, which coordinates multi-service releases and enhances visibility, security, and efficiency, ultimately reducing total cost of ownership and improving system reliability.
