Platform day

Bring a laptop. We’re getting ship done.

We’re changing the way teams ship software. Rolling out changes to dev for a week before pushing to production won't cut it. Teams want faster, risk-free deployments. 

In our Talkin’ Ship workshops, you’ll join LaunchDarkly experts to get hands-on with real code and learn how to roll out a whole new digital experience for eCommerce customers.

Bring your laptops and your favorite IDE,  because there are no fake demos here—just hands-on keyboards building, shipping, and releasing software.

The era of DevOps has spurred tremendous innovation ranging from CI/CD to agile planning, but developers still don't know whether the code they continuously deliver actually provides value for their customers, or worse, whether their code might actually damage the customer experience.

Join this keynote with LaunchDarkly CEO, Dan Rogers, and our product leaders to learn about the next frontier of DevOps, where engineering teams can confidently build products that customers love. In this session, you’ll learn:

• LaunchDarkly’s vision to help engineers across every aspect of software releases from progressive rollouts to product experimentation
• Insights from customers on how to leverage features as a control point to help engineers build better customer experiences
• Product demonstrations of new release automation and measurement capabilities

Adding yet another tool to your current toolchain opens up risk when you’re looking to deploy software because of the collaboration and coordination involved. There are many concepts to learn, configurations to determine and processes to implement in order to be successful - but even that doesn’t ensure a smooth deployment or release. Join us in this session to understand best practices that can help your teams collaborate together by knowing what their respective roles should be in LaunchDarkly, learning how to coordinate between these roles, and having a clearly defined process in how to release software.

Embark on AMC Theatres' transformative journey with LaunchDarkly as they enhance their customer experience. As the largest theatre exhibitor globally, AMC's rich history in entertainment underscores their commitment to innovation. This dedication allows them to adapt to changing customer preferences and operational challenges, cementing their leadership in the industry.

Discover how AMC addressed challenges in their mobile app's deployment process. LaunchDarkly played a pivotal role in ensuring seamless user experiences by resolving issues with a payment provider's SDK, including disabling new features on specific platforms and targeting specific versions without deployments.

Uncover AMC's segmented rollouts powered by LaunchDarkly. The optimization of the Food and Beverage (F&B) Quick Add feature and theater-specific variations exemplify LaunchDarkly's effectiveness. We will also discuss the evolution of the feature flag using multi-contexts to enhance future capabilities.

Experience AMC's innovative use of LaunchDarkly as a circuit breaker. Learn how they temporarily disable features, notably during high-volume ticket-on-sale events such as the Barbie and Oppenheimer films. Discussion also includes using a feature flag to control queue configuration for smooth operation under heavy loads.

Concluding this journey, we summarize key takeaways. Gain insights into how LaunchDarkly empowers organizations to optimize software, adapt to challenges, and deliver an exceptional customer journey in a dynamic digital landscape. Notably, AMC's digital platforms generate over $1 billion in online sales each year, cementing their status as a global entertainment powerhouse.

Join us for a deep dive customer session on the work done by World Kinect in transitioning to a feature flag-driven approach powered by LaunchDarkly. This talk will provide insights into the teamwork demonstrated by World Kinect engineers leveraging LaunchDarkly's capabilities to develop solutions for software deployment and feature management.

Whether you're managing code reviews, issue triaging, or delivering features to end users, CI/CD is at the core of modern development. But frequent releases can quickly get complicated with dependencies ballooning out of control. How can we manage these at scale without needing to manually change configurations? Learn how to easily manage your complex workflows, keep your codebase clean, and collaborate better with your team using GitHub Actions and LaunchDarkly.
