Tips & Tricks: How to Automate Percentage Rollouts in LaunchDarkly

LaunchDarkly introduces a feature that allows users to automate percentage rollouts for new features. This approach enables gradual release of the feature to a certain percentage of the user base, reducing risk and allowing time for adjustments. The platform offers two methods for performing percentage rollouts: an automated method using workflows and a manual method for targeting specific groups of users. Automated rollouts can be set up with various parameters such as start date, variation to rollout, percentage increments, and frequency. On the other hand, custom workflows allow users to create tailored release processes, including multiple approvals and user segment targeting. LaunchDarkly plans to release workflow templates in the near future for reusing saved workflows.
