What is Split.io?

Split FME's March releases pull feature flags fully into the Harness DevOps platform.

Split.io now ships under the Harness Feature Management & Experimentation (FME) brand, and the substantive activity is captured in the rolled-up release-notes page rather than per-release entries. The March 2026 wave landed three real ships: Policy As Code (OPA) for FME Feature Flags, Feature Flag Archiving with RBAC and pre-archive checks, and the GA of FME steps in Harness pipelines covering full flag lifecycle management. The rest of the recent feed is scraper artifacts — page chrome captured as titles.

What is Warp?

Warp pivoted from terminal app to cloud software factory infrastructure, and just launched the benchmarking tool that makes it self-improving.

Warp has repositioned itself entirely around cloud software factories — automated SDLC loops driven by coding agents (triage, spec, implement, review, verify, ship, monitor). The two concrete products are Warp Factories (open, code-defined infrastructure for running these loops in the cloud) and the Warp Agent CLI (a standalone coding agent that works in any terminal, not just the Warp app). Factory Benchmarks, just launched, lets teams measure model and skill configurations against their own private codebase rather than synthetic benchmarks.

Split FME's March releases pull feature flags fully into the Harness DevOps platform.

◆ Current state

Split.io now ships under the Harness Feature Management & Experimentation (FME) brand, and the substantive activity is captured in the rolled-up release-notes page rather than per-release entries. The March 2026 wave landed three real ships: Policy As Code (OPA) for FME Feature Flags, Feature Flag Archiving with RBAC and pre-archive checks, and the GA of FME steps in Harness pipelines covering full flag lifecycle management. The rest of the recent feed is scraper artifacts — page chrome captured as titles.

◆ Where it's heading

FME is becoming a first-class part of the Harness DevOps surface rather than a standalone feature-flag tool. Pipeline-native flag operations, policy-as-code governance, and archiving as a managed lifecycle state all reflect a single direction: feature flags as a governed, audited, and pipeline-integrated component of the deployment system. The standalone Split UX is fading into Harness conventions.

◆ Prediction

Expect more Harness-platform conventions to land on FME — RBAC unification, environments and pipelines parity, OPA policy templates shipped out of the box, and observability tying flag changes back into deploy-failure/MTTR dashboards. Standalone-Split UX surfaces will likely be retired further.

Warp pivoted from terminal app to cloud software factory infrastructure, and just launched the benchmarking tool that makes it self-improving.

◆ Current state

Warp has repositioned itself entirely around cloud software factories — automated SDLC loops driven by coding agents (triage, spec, implement, review, verify, ship, monitor). The two concrete products are Warp Factories (open, code-defined infrastructure for running these loops in the cloud) and the Warp Agent CLI (a standalone coding agent that works in any terminal, not just the Warp app). Factory Benchmarks, just launched, lets teams measure model and skill configurations against their own private codebase rather than synthetic benchmarks.

◆ Where it's heading

The sequence is deliberate: launch Factories as the infrastructure layer, launch the Agent CLI as the execution unit, then ship Benchmarks as the feedback mechanism that closes the improvement loop. The 'crawl, walk, run' adoption framing suggests Warp is in active go-to-market mode — the guides and thought-leadership posts are sales motion, not product changes. The next gap to fill is deeper observability into what the factory is actually doing at each stage.

◆ Prediction

The next concrete product move will likely be scheduling or orchestration tooling within Factories — the benchmarks surface tells you which configuration is best, but there's no way yet to trigger factory runs on a schedule or in response to events without re-configuring manually. CI trigger integration is the obvious next step.
