February 2020 Summaries

LaunchDarkly, a company that enables developers to reduce risk and deliver their code fearlessly, places community at the heart of its operations. The company values include celebrating success as a team, supporting the community through initiatives like Code Nation, and creating the LaunchDarkly Foundation to help non-profits. Feedback from users is highly valued, with CEO Edith Harbaugh regularly reviewing comments in their NPS survey. To foster an inclusive community, LaunchDarkly invites developers to participate in its annual conference, Trajectory, and offers a contest for winning tickets and swag.

The text discusses how to export audit logs from LaunchDarkly's REST API using Python. It provides a step-by-step guide on setting up an authorization token in the dashboard and mentions that the same can be done with other languages like JavaScript. The script uses environment variables for storing the authorization token, but users are free to use their preferred method. The formatting may need adjustments after exporting the data.

LaunchDarkly has integrated with Microsoft Teams to allow users to monitor feature flag changes directly within their workspace. This integration enables teams to receive notifications for specific flags, environments, or projects they need to stay updated on daily. Users can customize the policies and send notification cards to keep everyone informed about flag toggles, new feature launches, canary rollouts, and more. The Microsoft Teams integration is available to all LaunchDarkly customers, and those without an account can start a free trial or contact sales for more information.

LaunchDarkly has updated its product and SDK documentation site with a new look and improved capabilities. The company now uses Git and GitHub for publishing docs, and Algolia for site search. These tools provide a better reading experience and allow developers to contribute directly through pull requests on GitHub. This update aims to improve navigation, accessibility, and collaboration in the documentation process.

LaunchDarkly will require TLS 1.2 for all public connections after March 31, 2020, as part of their commitment to security and privacy. The change is in response to major browser developers moving to a TLS 1.2 minimum by the same date. Users may need to upgrade their platform versions or make configuration changes if they are still using TLS 1.0. LaunchDarkly's Support and Customer Success teams will assist customers transitioning from TLS 1.0 to ensure better network security.
