A feature flag might’ve stopped the Google Cloud outage. On June 12, a bad release hit global load balancers...no flag, no rollback. Even the best teams need control after deployment. Deployment isn’t the finish line.

Multiple environments. Multiple regions. One mistake? Global mess. Guarded Rollouts give you the control to deploy safely across prod instances—US, EU, APAC, and beyond, without losing sleep. Tame the chaos: bit.ly/4lEsJHI

Deploying before the weekend? Bold move. But with Guarded Releases: – issues get flagged automatically – rollbacks happen instantly – and you’re not stuck firefighting on Saturday Smarter safety nets → smarter shipping.

Is your GenAI app hallucinating? Your users notice. Fix it with runtime control: →RAG with observability → LLM-as-judge scoring → Real time rollback with AI Configs Stop relying on luck, start controlling your output: bit.ly/44orSEc

To use the LaunchDarkly MCP server, you’ll need to create a LaunchDarkly personal API access token with Write permissions. You can do so on your Account Authorization page. Copy the token somewhere safe, since you won’t be able to view it again.
