Software Category: feature management platform
About the Company: LaunchDarkly allows software development teams to release new software features gradually to any segment of users on any platform by standardizing safe releases at a large scale by allowing developers to flag features for release. The platform gives DevOps teams tight control over feature management and access control across the entire development and operations pipeline. Using the platform, the team can pick and choose which features they wish to release. A series of flags, displayed as on-and-off toggles, used for choosing code sections, allows the DevOps team to pick and choose what they want to go out and to whom. It simplifies the whole nature of deployment down from an esoteric art to an easy-to-understand science.LaunchDarkly currently serves more than 2,000 customers worldwide, including IBM Corp., GoDaddy Inc., SAP SE, and Square Inc.
