About LaunchDarkly
LaunchDarkly is the runtime control layer for the AI era. For over a decade we have helped engineering teams control what ships in production, starting with feature management and evolving into the infrastructure that governs how software and AI agents behave after deploy. With CodeControl and AgentControl, teams can update agent behavior in milliseconds, automatically roll back when something drifts, and govern every agent and feature across the organization from one place. No redeploys required. LaunchDarkly processes more than 50 trillion flag evaluations per day and serves some of the most demanding engineering teams in the world, including over a quarter of the Fortune 500. Founded in 2014 in Oakland, California by Edith Harbaugh and John Kodumal, LaunchDarkly has been named to the Forbes Cloud 100 for five consecutive years, Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list, and the Inc. 5000.
