OAKLAND, Calif. (PRWEB)

LaunchDarkly, the leading feature management platform that software teams use to build better software faster, announced today it is now serving over six trillion feature flags each day, on fourteen million mobile devices, and three million servers. The platform is now serving more flag evaluations each day than there are Google searches in a year.

In the last few months, LaunchDarkly has announced substantial momentum. Just this week, the company has been named to the Forbes 2020 Cloud 100, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by Forbes and Cloud 100,” said Edith Harbaugh, CEO and Co-Founder of LaunchDarkly. “What we’ve built is changing how teams deliver and control software. We’re making it easier for developers to build more reliable production systems, as well as give anyone in their organization the control they need to deliver the right experience to the right user at the right time.”

“In the face of this unprecedented time, digital is an urgent imperative, and the pace of innovation is accelerating. Companies around the globe, across all industries must adopt cloud technologies to enable their digital transformation,” said Matt Garratt, Managing Partner, Salesforce Ventures. “The opportunity is massive for the cloud–there are now more than 25 public SaaS companies valued at over $10 billion whereas even five years ago there were only three. Sectors from collaboration and security to retail and healthcare, are being disrupted and becoming more digital. Salesforce Ventures is excited to be partnering with Bessemer Venture Partners and Forbes for the fifth year in a row to recognize those who are not just predicting what’s coming but working to create the future.”

LaunchDarkly recently hosted their annual conference, Trajectory Live, featuring industry influencers such as GitHub, IBM, Honeycomb, and Microsoft. Sessions throughout the event focused on a range of topics, including how software development teams can:

  • Learn quickly and safely with chaos engineering and observability

  • Scale services up and down to meet customer needs reliably and economically

  • Build autonomous self-healing systems

  • Progressively deliver personalized user experiences, without compromising performance

  • Incorporate empathy, collaboration, and diversity in experience


“Recognition in the Forbes 2020 Cloud 100 list validates our growing influence and hard work,” said John Kodumal, CTO and Co-Founder of LaunchDarkly. “We have received excellent feedback from our customers, partners, and the community, and we are honored to receive this recognition from the market.”

LaunchDarkly also recently announced the official LaunchDarkly Partner Program and The LaunchDarkly Integration Framework. In partnering with some of the most innovative tech companies in the world including Honeycomb and Rollbar, LaunchDarkly is empowering technology partners to build better software as a team.

The LaunchDarkly Partner Program is committed to growing, supporting, and building solutions with business partners around the globe. And the LaunchDarkly Integration Framework makes it possible to build integrations with LaunchDarkly in hours, not weeks. As a partner or community member, users can now integrate LaunchDarkly with other tools and, as a partner, have them listed publicly.

“For five years now, we have ranked the best and brightest emerging companies in the cloud sector,” said Alex Konrad, Forbes editor of The Cloud 100. “With so many businesses growing fast in the cloud, from data infrastructure to marketing, it’s harder than ever to make the Cloud 100 list –but with more elite company if you do. Congratulations to each of the 2020 Cloud 100 honorees and the 20 Rising Stars honorees poised to join their ranks!”
