Harness has released a major update to its Internal Developer Portal (IDP), enhancing the Backstage framework to better meet the needs of large enterprises with complex requirements. This update introduces features like real-time Git synchronization, an advanced role-based access control system, and a customizable catalog user experience, designed to streamline the developer experience by providing structure, speed, and control. The IDP now supports organizing entities according to the company's hierarchy, allowing teams to manage services relevant to their specific areas, thereby improving efficiency and reducing errors. The release also includes a UI-driven entity management system that simplifies onboarding and service registration, making it accessible even to those without configuration syntax knowledge, while maintaining support for traditional YAML workflows. Additionally, new APIs facilitate large-scale adoption through automation, supporting use cases such as auto-discovery and CLI integration, and the platform remains compatible with existing Backstage plugins, ensuring continuity for users familiar with the ecosystem.
