Release Faster, Avoid Dragons

Typically the faster you move, the more likely mistakes are going to happen, like stumbling into a dragon’s cave and catching a breath of fire. At LaunchDarkly, we like you a lot, and would prefer you not to be caught ablaze by a failed Friday Night software deployment. 

The way teams release software is most often the place where the “dragons” live - aka - the most risky of places. There’s a lot of opportunities for things to go wrong, and the impact can be high. Using LaunchDarkly, we can get you a “suit of armor” around your releases and teach you how you can build resilient deployment flows. 

In this talk, we’ll explore integrating feature flags into an application, and talk through how we can improve the software release process. We’ll introduce you to concepts like user targeting, and workflow building. By the end, you should understand how LaunchDarkly can help spare you the wrath of dragons - and make releasing on Friday nights a lot less scary.
