Hot take from our SVP of Product: building AI features ≠ managing dynamic learning systems. Jenn Wei breaks it down on the What the Dev? podcast. Culture, leadership, Experimentation, it all matters. 🎧 Ep 320: bit.ly/40RWa1h

A feature flag might’ve stopped the Google Cloud outage. On June 12, a bad release hit global load balancers...no flag, no rollback. Even the best teams need control after deployment. Deployment isn’t the finish line.

Multiple environments. Multiple regions. One mistake? Global mess. Guarded Rollouts give you the control to deploy safely across prod instances—US, EU, APAC, and beyond, without losing sleep. Tame the chaos: bit.ly/4lEsJHI

Deploying before the weekend? Bold move. But with Guarded Releases: – issues get flagged automatically – rollbacks happen instantly – and you’re not stuck firefighting on Saturday Smarter safety nets → smarter shipping.

Is your GenAI app hallucinating? Your users notice. Fix it with runtime control: →RAG with observability → LLM-as-judge scoring → Real time rollback with AI Configs Stop relying on luck, start controlling your output: bit.ly/44orSEc

Create a flag. Roll it out. Ship it safely. All from your editor. LaunchDarkly’s new MCP server makes Cursor even more powerful—no context switching, no redeploys.

Tired of fragmented insights and delayed feedback in your feature development? 😩 LaunchDarkly Head of Analytics Divyansh Saini dives into why legacy approaches fail and how the shift to warehouse-native analytics is revolutionizing continuous improvement cycles.

Stop redeploying to tweak prompts. With AI Configs, you can ship, experiment, and optimize your GenAI features, all at runtime. Control your AI releases → bit.ly/4kPjVyL

Feature shipped. Now what? Run warehouse-native experiments, unlock insights with Product Analytics, and iterate fast. Smarter testing starts here → bit.ly/4n7RIoz

Your release shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Guarded Releases provide real time visibility, instant rollbacks, and built-in safeguards, so you can ship with confidence, not chaos. Get started → bit.ly/4n399GG

🐣 This Easter, let's add humor to your Flask app and hide jokes behind an informative web page! We'll use feature flags to toggle between egg-citing jokes and informative messages. Ready to crack some code? 🥚😄

Why did the developer hide Easter eggs in their app? 🥚🐰 Because they had feature flags to back them up. Hop into our latest blog for a playful tutorial on building an Easter-themed Flask app using #LaunchDarkly. Crack it open here: bit.ly/3Gd0gcI

Why we had to 🐒 monkey patch 🐵🩹 flask-googlemaps to make it work with Flask 3.x Let’s break down what monkey patching is, why it was necessary in this LaunchDarkly x Python Flask x Google Maps project, and how it worked:

@relativity.com replaced its homegrown feature flag system with LaunchDarkly to streamline releases and reduce downtime. With Guarded Releases, it has added automated risk mitigation to ship with confidence. Full story: bit.ly/4cAtazN

Downtime ends here. Guarded Releases give you progressive rollouts, real-time monitoring, and auto rollbacks—so issues get caught before users feel them. Get your demo today: bit.ly/41X3mKu

Tired of redeploying every time you want to tweak your Flask app? This tutorial shows how to use feature flags to switch Google Maps marker colors on the fly—no redeploy required. Let's break it down:

Switch between data sets in real time with feature flags. Show restaurants or tourist attractions on a map with one toggle in the #LaunchDarkly dashboard. 🚩Full tutorial: bit.ly/3E0ijCh

Feature flags aren’t just on/off switches. Use a string flag to change behavior in your app—like switching map marker colors based on flag values. One flag, multiple outcomes. #FeatureFlags #FeatureManagement #SoftwareDevelopment
