As a customer, I'd like to ability to kickoff a pipeline where each stage doesn’t start until you press play rather than the pipeline automatically going through every stage automatically.

We are looking for the ability to kick off each stage manually. Harness Approvals do not work because they govern parallel stages.

We would like for a pipeline to deploy several services in parallel but for the actual deployment to be individually controlled:

svc x → dev → qa → prod

svc y → dev → qa → prod

In the above scenario, when the pipeline is started Harness will automatically begin deploying everything in parallel, svc x and y deploy to dev, once these stages are successful we begin to deploy to QA, etc.

We'd like the option so that when you start the pipeline, nothing happens. Then you can deploy svc x to dev, then svc x to QA. After, you can decide to deploy svc y to dev. This approach adds more flexibility in what you deploy and when, though it’s manual instead of automatic.
