About LaunchDarkly

Modern software delivery was intended to be the foundation for a thriving digital business, but reality has proven otherwise. Slow, inefficient development cycles, costly outages, and fragmented customer experiences hinder developers from building their best software. The LaunchDarkly platform empowers developers to innovate on new features faster while providing a safety net to instantly revert when issues arise. Developers can target product experiences to any customer segment and maximize the business impact of every feature. By gradually rolling out new application components, they can avoid the pitfalls of "big-bang" technology migrations.

The LaunchDarkly platform guides engineers to the next frontier of DevOps by:

  • Improving the velocity and stability of software releases without the risk of end-customer outages.
  • Delivering targeted experiences by easily personalizing features to customer segments.
