Job title –Software Engineer
Session
Abstract
Platform tools that integrate core development processes are redefining how we approach software delivery, especially in an era where simplicity and speed drive productivity. This session offers a deep dive into Harness Open Source, a robust development platform that combines seamless code hosting, automated DevOps pipelines, cloud development environments (Gitspaces), and artifact registries—all in one place.
This hands-on workshop will guide participants through real-world scenarios of modern software delivery, covering the end-to-end development lifecycle. Attendees will not only learn to set up and use Harness Open Source but will also walk away with practical skills to streamline workflows, enhance collaboration, and boost innovation. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped to replicate and adapt these setups for their own projects and teams.
