Summary

LaunchDarkly introduces new management features for its customers who use feature flags to manage risks, releases, and software deployments. The company observed that managing feature flags at scale was difficult with existing tools. To improve this, they have introduced flag maintainer, flag tagging, flag descriptions, and rich flag variations. These features complement their existing management tools like flag statuses, custom roles, and the flag dashboard. The new features are designed to help teams manage feature flags more effectively, reduce technical debt, and communicate the purpose of each flag to team members.
