Summary

Organizations using CircleCI for continuous integration and delivery benefit from deploying code frequently, reducing risk, and expediting customer value. By integrating CircleCI with LaunchDarkly feature flags, development teams can maintain a flexible pace for code deployment while enhancing user experience. The introduction of Code References allows teams to track instances of feature flags in their code without exposing source code, using a utility called ld-find-code-refs, which can be implemented as a CircleCI orb. This integration ensures that new code is securely wrapped in feature flags and facilitates the removal of flags once features are fully released. The implementation of this system, exemplified by a standard orb configuration, supports GitHub repository integration and offers reference links to source code, simplifying the management of feature flags and technical debt cleanup in Git repositories.
