LaunchDarkly Accelerates Journey to Self-Healing Software with Feature-Level Observability That Reduces Developer Friction and Accelerates Triage

LaunchDarkly, the comprehensive feature management platform, today unveiled key new AI capabilities and integrations that let developers ship software at even higher velocity while keeping risks at bay. These updates further the company’s vision for Self-Healing Software that allows engineers to focus on delivering amazing user experiences instead of anxiously awaiting late-night calls to fix bugs and outages.

Pressure has been mounting on developers to ship code faster and faster as organizations have moved from yearly to seasonal to agile deployments. And now, the rise of AI-assisted ‘vibe coding’ is accelerating that pace even more, increasing the volume of code shipped – and with it, the risk of shipping buggy software. Traditional Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools, while still essential for infra and system-wide monitoring, were never built to tie the performance of the features being shipped to the underlying observability data. That has left a critical gap in observability at the release level, one that can mean costly outages and customer churn when issues go undetected.

The new observability updates, which build on the company’s previous developments from its Galaxy 2025 user conference, provide closed-loop automation for de-bugging and quality control that transform how companies approach software quality and reliability. The updates include:

  • Live view of feature performance: Adding session replay, error monitoring and APM data directly into the rollout surface gives developers a live view into how changes are performing without needing to wait on legacy alerts or hunt across APM dashboards. This closes the loop between code change and customer impact, dramatically reducing mean time to repair and building confidence to ship more often.

  • Regression attribution to metrics: Guarded Releases connect the dots between what changed (your feature flag) and what broke (your metric). No more guesswork, blame-pong, or digging through dashboards at 2 a.m. When a metric regresses, LaunchDarkly shows you the exact flag change that caused it and lets you roll it back with one click.

  • Session replay: provides full context into how a release impacts real users right down to clicks, rage-scrolls, and form abandons. You can finally pair telemetry data with human-readable truth. It’s the fastest way to diagnose what actually happens when a release behaves badly, especially when the bug doesn’t trigger an alert.

  • Upcoming AI-Powered Diagnostics: The upcoming Vega AI agent will help eliminate the traditional “needle in a haystack” debugging process. Vega analyzes logs, traces, metrics, and session replays to identify root causes, generate timelines of what broke and why, and surface recommended code changes—turning noisy production data into actionable insights.

“While iterating quickly on products is paramount, organizations are becoming terrified of their own speed — they can find themselves flying blind on how their software is performing as they ship,” said Jay Khatri, Head of Observability at LaunchDarkly. “One bad release during peak season can cost millions in revenue and customer trust, which is why we’re so focused on moving from reactive damage control to proactive confidence.”

“Organizations are now building software faster than their capacity to roll it out and manage it effectively, a trend exacerbated by the rise of AI-assisted coding,” said James Governor, analyst and co-founder of RedMonk. “LaunchDarkly has responded by investing in observability tooling to enable session replay, troubleshooting and rollbacks at the feature level, for stability with speed.”

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
