Internal Developer Platform Golden Paths Guide
Harness, Tuesday, August 25th, 2026
Harness explains how to turn a service catalog into golden paths developers actually adopt.
Harness has published a guide on golden paths for internal developer platforms. The argument is that a service catalog by itself is an inventory, not a platform: it tells developers what exists without making the right choice the easy one.
Golden paths are the opinionated, supported routes through common tasks that developers follow because they are faster than the alternatives.
The guide covers turning a catalog into those paths and building an internal developer platform that raises productivity rather than becoming another system engineers route around.
