LaunchDarkly, the global leader in software feature management, recently announced the strategic acquisition of Highlight, a fast-growing open source observability platform. This operation is designed to strengthen LaunchDarkly's "Guarded Releases" offering, by integrating advanced real-time monitoring and analysis capabilities directly into its deployment management process.
In concrete terms, this acquisition will enable teams to immediately detect and resolve anomalies during production releases, to better understand the real impact of new functions on users, and to automate rollbacks in the event of a problem, thus drastically reducing operational risks.
By combining Highlight's expertise in distributed tracing, error analysis, logging and session replay with LaunchDarkly's capacity for progressive, controlled deployment, the new platform will offer an unprecedented level of visibility and control to modern enterprises. This comes at a time when the speed of software delivery must go hand in hand with enhanced reliability, while user expectations and the risks associated with service interruptions have never been higher.
LaunchDarkly, founded in 2014 and based in Oakland, California, offers a feature management platform that enables developers to test, control and deploy their new features incrementally and securely. Used by over 4,000 companies, including IBM, Atlassian and SAP, it plays a central role in modernizing software development practices.
