LaunchDarkly, the platform for high velocity engineering teams to

Since its founding in 2014, LaunchDarkly has pioneered the
feature management space, pushing the boundaries of the software
release experience for developers at over 5,500 of the world’s most
innovative companies. LaunchDarkly has empowered enterprises
worldwide, improving application availability and stability,
enhancing developer velocity and automation, optimizing digital
experiences through experimentation, and accelerating AI
initiatives, while reducing software delivery risk. According to a
recent third-party survey, LaunchDarkly customers exhibit
significantly higher deployment velocity and software reliability
compared to non-customers, demonstrating that effective risk
management and innovation velocity can go hand in hand.
Specifically, 59% of LaunchDarkly customers deploy several times a
week or more frequently, compared to 32% of non-customers. At the
same time, LaunchDarkly customers experience 48% better reliability
than non-customers, thanks to LaunchDarkly’s robust safety nets,
controls, and remediation capabilities.
At a time when minimizing risk is top of mind, the LaunchDarkly
platform provides the confidence needed to innovate without fear.
From financial services and travel to high tech and retail,
LaunchDarkly has become integral to the deployment processes of 25%
of the Fortune 500, with over 1.5 million feature flags in

dedicated to continuous innovation and steadfast in our mission to
revolutionize how software is built and deployed now and in the
next decade to come.”
Looking to the future, LaunchDarkly is committed to maintaining
