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

Create a flag. Roll it out. Ship it safely.
All from your editor.

LaunchDarkly’s new MCP server makes Cursor even more powerful—no context switching, no redeploys.

Live Data Is Rapidly Reshaping Product Development Practices Why software teams are merging feature delivery with real-time learning to build smarter products, faster.

Tired of fragmented insights and delayed feedback in your feature development? 😩 LaunchDarkly Head of Analytics Divyansh Saini dives into why legacy approaches fail and how the shift to warehouse-native analytics is revolutionizing continuous improvement cycles.

Stop redeploying to tweak prompts.

With AI Configs, you can ship, experiment, and optimize your GenAI features, all at runtime.

@cursor.com.web.brid.gy is powerful out of the box, but way better with a few tweaks.

These 4 quick hacks will make your AI agent more accurate, personalized, and downright faster.

As a security measure, you’ll need to click the Run Tool button before the AI Agent will actually make any API calls. After the API calls have completed, switch to the LaunchDarkly UI. You can see that the flag has been created!

Now it’s time to create a flag! 🏁 Ask the AI agent to create a flag using the following prompt. Replace example-project with your LaunchDarkly project. “Create a feature flag in example-project to gate my awesome new feature.”

In @cursor.com.web.brid.gy, go to Settings > Cursor Settings > MCP > Add a new MCP server. Copy the following JSON, replacing the dummy key in this example with your API token.

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.

This thread will guide you through the process of installing the LaunchDarkly MCP server in the Cursor IDE. However, you can use our server with any AI client that supports MCP, such as Claude, @windsurfai.bsky.social AI, or even @raycast.com!

MCP, or Model-Context Protocol, is an open protocol that enables interaction with APIs using natural language. LaunchDarkly’s MCP server is powered by Speakeasy, a developer tool for generating SDKs, documentation, and agent tools.

You can now manage feature flags in plain English from the comfort of your IDE, using the LaunchDarkly platform, feature flags, and the new MCP server. Let’s take a look and learn how

The Patchwork of Global AI Regulation Demands Smarter Delivery | The AI Journal AI regulation is coming—but how it will unfold will vary wildly by region, country and even state. The EU AI Act introduced strict guidelines for high-risk

AI regulation is fragmented and evolving fast. One-size-fits-all delivery won’t cut it.

Here’s how region-specific models and progressive rollouts help teams ship responsibly and stay compliant.
