Standardize high-velocity, low-risk releases

LaunchDarkly gives developers at government agencies the safeguards to ship code more frequently.

Deploy when you want, release when you’re ready
Get all the benefits of agile development and continuous delivery without the risk. LaunchDarkly separates code deployments from feature releases, so developers can ship code whenever they want without impacting end-users.

Test in production early and often
Know whether a code change will break production long before it’s ever released to users. LaunchDarkly feature flags allow you to safely test features in production with a small cohort early in the process.

Progressively deliver changes
Move fast but with control. Run canary tests and perform gradual rollouts in production. As a new feature clears key benchmarks, progressively release it to a wider audience.

Safely migrate your software systems

Modernize your infrastructure while maintaining perfect operational health.

Cloud migration
Enjoy a stress-free cloud migration. Use feature flags to gradually stand up your new cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM Cloud, etc.) alongside legacy systems. Tread cautiously until you've migrated 100% of traffic.

Database migrations
At the start, route, say, 100% of ‘read’ and ‘write’ events to the old database, while duplicating 10% of the write events and pushing them to the new database. Incrementally move to the next phase as you monitor performance.

Microservices migrations
Progressively direct new data, traffic, and requests to your new microservices architecture. And use LaunchDarkly to control the behavior of multiple microservices with a single feature flag.

Ensure near-perfect availability and reliability

Disable buggy code in one click and change configurations on the fly.

Remove anxiety with instant rollbacks
LaunchDarkly feature flags allow you to turn off any feature or code path within 200ms. No need to stay up all night rolling back code and deploying emergency fixes.

Monitor and troubleshoot features
Elite software teams use LaunchDarkly's feature management platform to troubleshoot and resolve issues in real-time. Use LaunchDarkly’s Audit Log to pinpoint the source of an incident and quickly solve it.

Make changes on the fly to preserve uptime
Dynamically change configurations to keep your service afloat no matter what. When incidents occur, immediately switch to a failover option, alter API rate limits, and change log levels without pushing new code.
