Summary

Many software teams in the U.S. are implementing "deploy freezes" during Thanksgiving week to reduce the risk of issues occurring at inconvenient times. However, some companies like LaunchDarkly continue deploying by using feature flags to mitigate risks and maintain peace of mind. This approach allows them to avoid accumulating un-deployed code and ensures they remain critical for teams that can't take time off during the holiday season. Last week, LaunchDarkly conducted an internal "focus week" where engineers tackled various tasks such as cross-service tracing, upgrading ElasticSearch clusters, and improving user experience. This work will be deployed during Thanksgiving week, allowing the team to focus on other aspects of their jobs without worrying about code deployment issues.
