Harness UI Overview

Harness is a comprehensive CI/CD platform that streamlines software delivery for modern enterprises. It provides a powerful and user-friendly interface for managing software releases, deployments, and rollbacks.

You can interact with the Harness platform through the Harness UI. It is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, while also providing robust features and capabilities for managing software releases.

The Harness UI is organized into several key areas. This topic explains how you can:

Projects​

A Harness project is a group of Harness modules, their pipelines, and resources. For example, a project might have a Harness CI pipeline to build code and push an image and a Harness CD pipeline to deploy that image to a cloud platform.

For more information, see Create Organizations and Projects.

Deployments​

The Deployments module in Harness is designed to provide visibility and control over the deployment process, making it easier to manage and troubleshoot deployments across multiple projects and environments. You can create your CD pipelines in this module and view the status of all deployments across all projects, filter and sort the deployments based on various criteria, and drill down into the details of individual deployments.

For more information, see Continuous Delivery & GitOps.

Builds​

The Builds module in Harness is a component of the platform that provides a centralized view of all the builds that have been executed or are currently in progress. It allows you to manage and monitor your build activity across all your projects and environments.

For more information, see Continuous Integration.

Feature Flags​

Feature flags are a key component of Harness that allows you to control the availability and behavior of specific features in your application. With feature flags, you can release new features to specific groups of users, test features before making them available to all users, and gradually roll out features to ensure a smooth transition.
