LaunchDarkly provides a runtime control platform that manages feature releases and AI-driven customer experiences in real time without redeploying code. It enables engineering teams to govern post-deployment behavior through progressive rollouts, targeted exposure, performance monitoring, and instant rollback, reducing risk while preserving velocity. The platform processes more than 40 trillion feature flag evaluations daily and counts a sizable portion of Fortune 500 companies among its customers. Based in Oakland, California, LaunchDarkly was founded in 2014 by Edith Harbaugh and John Kodumal. Operating in the software development industry, it offers runtime controls that decouple code deployment from feature activation, enabling safer and faster software and AI-driven releases. In 2025, the company introduced Vega, an AI-powered diagnostic agent designed to identify root causes of software regressions at the moment of release.
