Split and Harness
In June 2024, Harness acquired Split, now called Harness Feature Management & Experimentation (FME). This page provides information to support you during the transition to Feature Management & Experimentation (FME) in the Harness platform.

If you're new to Harness, go to Get started with Harness and learn about the Harness software delivery platform.
Accessing Harness FME
Whether you are a new Harness user, an existing Harness customer, or a customer migrating from Split, accessing Feature Management & Experimentation (FME) starts in the Harness platform.
If you are currently accessing Split via app.split.io, our customer success and support teams will be in contact with you to help you ensure a smooth transition into FME on app.harness.io. For more information, see Split to Harness Migration.

Migrated Split Account?
When a Split account is migrated to Harness FME, the structure of your Harness organizations, projects, and resource groups depend on whether your account is on the Free or Enterprise Plan at the time of the migration.
Plan Organization created Project location Resource group Free Default Harness organization Default organization All Project Level ResourcesEnterprise <legacy Split account name> FMEDedicated FME organization FME All Resources- On the Free plan, legacy Split projects are recreated as Harness projects in the default Harness organization.
- On the Enterprise plan, a Harness organization named
<legacy Split account name> FMEis created, and legacy Split projects are recreated as Harness projects within this organization.
In both cases, each Harness project created by the migration script links to its corresponding legacy Split (FME) project.
Harness clusters and base URLs
When your account is migrated from Split to Harness, you will access Feature Management & Experimentation (FME) through the Harness platform. Most migrated accounts use app.harness.io, but some customers (depending on their cluster) will use a different base URL.
To identify which Harness cluster your account is in, navigate to Account Settings and select Account Details.
Your Harness base URL depends on which cluster your account is hosted in.
| Cluster | Base URL |
|---|---|
| Prod1 | app.harness.io |
| Prod2 | app.harness.io |
| Prod3 | app3.harness.io |
| Prod0 / Prod4 | accounts.harness.io |
| EU clusters | accounts.eu.harness.io |
Authentication, access, and user management
Authentication, access, and user management are part of the Harness platform. Permissions granted to users and user groups depend on their associations with resources and resource groups, which are controlled at the account, organization, and project level in Harness.
For more information about authentication, access, and user management, see the following:
Administering a Migrated Split Account on Harness
Split administrators should read the Before and After Guide: Administering a Migrated Split Account on Harness. The guide will walk you through administrative tasks which change to standard Harness platform features after your migration into Harness.
Harness platform integrations
We are moving rapidly to unlock integrations with Harness's innovative DevOps tools, developer experience improvements, security features, and cloud optimizations, while continuing to enhance the core of what you've previously known as Split.
You can use Harness FME directly within the Harness Internal Developer Portal (IDP). This integration allows you to view and manage your feature flags and experiments directly from your developer portal, alongside other Harness tools. For setup instructions and configuration details, see the Harness IDP documentation.
To learn more about upcoming integrations and planned enhancements, see the FME Product Roadmap.
