# Harness
> Harness is the platform for the Autonomous SDLC: it gives AI coding agents the context and control to take every code change safely through production and beyond. Used by hundreds of enterprise engineering teams, including Citi, United Airlines, and Ancestry.
## Platform
- [Why Harness](https://www.harness.io/why-harness): One-page overview of what Harness does and why enterprise teams choose it over a stitched-together toolchain.
- [Pricing](https://www.harness.io/pricing): Plans and pricing for the Harness platform.
- [Developer Documentation](https://developer.harness.io): Full technical docs, API reference, and setup guides for every Harness module.
## Software Delivery Agent
Moves every code change safely from commit to production — repositories, code review, CI, CD, artifacts, infrastructure, and database deployments in one context.
- [Continuous Integration](https://www.harness.io/products/continuous-integration): AI-driven test selection and build triage — decides which tests matter for a change and explains failures.
- [Continuous Delivery & GitOps](https://www.harness.io/products/continuous-delivery): Autonomous pipeline configuration for multi-cloud, multi-region, multi-service releases.
- [Infrastructure as Code Management](https://www.harness.io/products/infrastructure-as-code-management): Terraform/OpenTofu automation with plan summaries, policy-as-code, and drift detection.
- [Database DevOps](https://www.harness.io/products/database-devops): AI-authored schema migrations delivered through the same governed pipelines as application code.
- [Artifact Registry](https://www.harness.io/products/artifact-registry): Policy-based artifact promotion across containers, packages, and AI/ML models.
- [Code Repository](https://www.harness.io/products/code-repository): Git hosting wired directly into pipelines, with policy enforcement on every change.
- [AI Code Review](https://www.harness.io/products/ai-code-review): Automated pull-request review that flags defects, security issues, and policy violations before merge.
## Security Testing Agent
Finds and fixes risk before it reaches production.
- [Static Application Security Testing](https://www.harness.io/products/application-security-testing/static-application-security-testing): SAST with AI-prioritized findings and suggested fixes delivered in the developer's workflow.
- [Software Composition Analysis](https://www.harness.io/products/application-security-testing/software-composition-analysis): Open-source dependency and license risk analysis, prioritized by exploitability.
- [Supply Chain Security](https://www.harness.io/products/application-security-testing/supply-chain-security): Artifact provenance, SBOM generation, and build-integrity attestation.
- [Security Testing Orchestration](https://www.harness.io/products/application-security-testing/security-testing-orchestration): Orchestrates first- and third-party scanners, deduplicating and prioritizing results in one view.
## Runtime Protection Agent
Protects applications, APIs, and AI in production.
- [API Posture](https://www.harness.io/products/web-application-api-protection/api-posture): Continuous API discovery and posture assessment across environments.
- [API Advanced Protection](https://www.harness.io/products/web-application-api-protection/api-advanced-protection): Runtime defense against API abuse, business-logic attacks, and bot traffic.
- [AI Posture](https://www.harness.io/products/web-application-api-protection/ai-posture): Discovers and assesses models, agents, and MCP servers for exposure and misconfiguration.
- [AI Firewall](https://www.harness.io/products/web-application-api-protection/ai-firewall): Runtime guardrails for LLM traffic — prompt injection, data leakage, and abuse prevention.
## Cost Management Agent
Controls and optimizes cloud and AI spend, and measures engineering efficiency.
- [Cloud & AI Cost Management](https://www.harness.io/products/cloud-ai-cost-management): Visibility and automated optimization across cloud and AI spend, by model and provider.
- [AI DLC Insights](https://www.harness.io/products/ai-dlc-insights): Engineering efficiency metrics for the AI development lifecycle, including DORA benchmarks.
