## What the story says

Gentera uses Harness across CI/CD, code repositories, infrastructure as code management, and database DevOps to replace fragmented Jenkins-based pipelines with standardized, governed delivery pipelines. Database changes now run in the same pipeline as application delivery with built-in rollback and automated audit trails.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Harness and Gentera, not ours.

> Because database changes now run in the same pipeline as application delivery, a failed release can be rolled back as a single unit, recovering the application and database together with built-in rollback steps and no manual unwinding.

- **under 1%**: “Rollback failure rate: 19% → under 1%”
- **~200**: “Pipelines: ~600 fragmented pipelines → ~200 standardized pipelines built on four golden templates”

> Harness helped us say yes faster. Multiply that across every farmer and shop owner we serve, and you start to see the real impact of this work.

> Switching to the Harness Code Repository has helped us improve our speed and frequency of software delivery by 4x and reduced the cognitive load on our developers by 2x.
