In this week’s Harper Learn session, Solutions Architect Ivan Judson walks through how to take a simple local setup and deploy it to a fully managed, multi-node Harper cluster in just a few steps. You’ll see how a project that starts on your laptop—configured with static files, users, and basic access rules—can be pushed to the cloud and immediately scaled across nodes with Harper’s streamlined deployment workflow. Ivan demonstrates how configuration, access groups, and app logic seamlessly transfer from local to distributed environments, highlighting the power and simplicity of Harper’s fused platform.To wrap up, Ivan gives a sneak peek of next week’s session by sending an MQTT message that triggers a real-world action—offering a glimpse into how Harper enables fast, event-driven applications. Whether you're building locally or deploying globally, this episode shows how quickly you can go from development to distributed production with Harper.

How a $1B+ Retailer Unlocked $92M in Annual Revenue, Without Touching the Origin.

When experimentation logic, redirect limits, and origin failures were quietly costing a $1B+ retailer tens of millions, Harper delivered edge-deployed acceleration without re-platforming. 47x ROI. Six weeks to prove it.

The Security Problem in Agentic Engineering has an Architectural Solution

Agentic AI promises autonomous software development, but enterprise security concerns block adoption. This article explains how credential sprawl creates risk—and how a unified runtime architecture like Harper eliminates infrastructure access requirements, enabling secure agentic engineering in production environments.
