LaunchDarkly provides a feature management platform that decouples feature rollout from code deployment, allowing teams to control software delivery through feature flags, experimentation, and continuous deployment. The platform serves over a thousand global companies across financial services, retail, healthcare, and government.
The core capability centres on feature flags - mechanisms that enable teams to safely roll out or turn off features independently of code releases. The platform also supports A/B testing and experimentation, providing actionable insights into user experience alongside release control. This architecture allows technical and business teams to operate independently while maintaining control over feature delivery.
LaunchDarkly was founded by John Kodumal and Edith Harbaugh, who built the platform after experiencing late and stressful software launches at previous companies. The company positions itself as the first scalable feature management platform, with stated vision to create a world where every software release is safe and unceremonious.
