LaunchDarkly overview

What is LaunchDarkly?

LaunchDarkly is the runtime control plane for software features, helping engineering teams release quickly and safely as development velocity increases with AI and automation. By giving teams control after code is deployed, LaunchDarkly makes it easier to manage release risk, improve reliability, and deliver consistent user experiences.

LaunchDarkly separates feature rollout from code deployment so teams can release gradually, target specific users, monitor behavior in real time, and remediate issues instantly without waiting for the next deploy. This allows organizations to move fast while maintaining stability and governance at scale.

The platform is built around four core capabilities:

- Release: Progressive rollouts, guardrails, and instant kill switches to minimize risk.

- Observe: Feature-level monitoring and real-time insights into performance and errors.

- Iterate: Experimentation and variation testing to optimize features based on actual user behavior.

- AI Configs: Runtime control of prompts and models so teams can refine AI behavior safely without redeploying.

More than 5,500 organizations, including a quarter of the Fortune 500, rely on LaunchDarkly to deliver reliable digital experiences and turn software releases into a competitive advantage.
