How Harness Transformed Its Infrastructure
summary
Starts at 15 people and grows to 1,200+ while the control plane moves from one Java monolith on a shared MongoDB to 70+ microservices and 17+ products; rearchitecture introduces a four-tier infra (cloud, compute, app, data), on-demand prod-like dev slices, cellular deployments to limit blast radius, and predictable release trains; platform engineering builds developer self-service and infra-as-code while SRE/DBR use Prometheus and Grafana and run six production instances for lower change-fail rates and faster launches.
