Introducing Guarded Releases

In this video, LaunchDarkly Senior Director of Product Incubation Code De Arkland introduces a new standard in software delivery with Guarded Releases, ensuring that every release is monitored with the ability to quickly roll back at the first sign of trouble and allowing teams to innovate quickly without compromising reliability or the user experience:

Performance safeguards and automatic rollbacks: Set thresholds to catch issues early, triggering instant rollbacks to a stable state when limits are breached.

Phased rollouts with guarded progressive releases: Gradually release updates in stages, with the ability to pause or roll back if issues emerge.

Insights into release health: Get end-to-end visibility into the health of your releases with real-time insights into regressions and their resolution status.

Real-time alerts with PagerDuty notifications: Get rapid, actionable alerts on regressions and recovery status to stay on top of release health.

Enhanced usability and visual insights: An updated interface with clear metrics, streamlined rollbacks, and hovercard explanations supports quick, data-driven decisions.

Plus, error monitoring and session replay (coming soon):

Instant error tracking and alerts for faster fixes and improved reliability.

Replay user actions to understand where they experienced issues.
