Harness is transitioning from its CD Community Edition to Gitness, an open-source software development platform launched in September 2023, which offers a comprehensive solution for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). Initially launched in January 2022, the Harness CD Community Edition was intended to help users learn and use CD & GitOps with minimal resources and self-management. However, Gitness, which includes a Git-compliant source code management system and Drone pipelines, is seen as a more effective solution for delivering a simple CD pipeline. With Gitness, users can host git repositories and manage automated CI/CD pipelines in one platform, enhancing collaboration and streamlining development workflows. Gitness supports basic CD tasks, including application builds, Docker image creation, and Kubernetes deployments, and can be upgraded to Harness CD & GitOps for more advanced functionalities like support for various deployment strategies, governance, and intelligent deployment verification. Existing users of the Harness CD Community Edition are encouraged to transition to Gitness, as future releases of the Community Edition will be discontinued, and its source code repositories will become private.
