Introducing A New Way To Quickly and Easily Do Progressive Rollouts In LaunchDarkly

What's this blog post about?

Bugs in software can cause disruptions, but Progressive Rollouts can help mitigate these risks by incrementally exposing new features to segments of a user base. This phased approach allows for gradual increases in traffic exposure over time, limiting the number of users affected by any given issue with the release. Progressive Rollouts are now an option on a flag's targeting rule in a given environment and can be set up with various percentage and time increments to control user exposure. This feature is available for all LaunchDarkly plans and can help safeguard release processes and ensure that issues only affect a subset of users at most.
