The Only Constant in Modern Infrastructure, is Change

An audit log is a chronological list of significant changes in a system that includes information about what happened, when it happened, and who initiated the change. It is not a product but a practice that requires careful tracking and recording to ensure accessibility later. Audit logs are crucial for security and compliance purposes as they provide accountability. LaunchDarkly enforces this by requiring all users to authenticate into the system. An audit log can be particularly helpful in troubleshooting issues related to feature rollouts, allowing teams to quickly identify where a change was made, what it was, and who initiated it. This valuable information helps teams make informed decisions about how to proceed next with more confidence.
