Summary

LaunchDarkly has introduced a new feature called Flag Audiences, which enhances the ability to trace and analyze feature flag evaluations by linking them directly to the specific users and sessions that experienced them. This feature allows users to view all evaluations for a flag, switch between various contexts, and filter by different variations, offering a comprehensive and actionable overview of rollout audiences. By integrating with the Observability SDK, Flag Audiences also provides the capability to watch session replays, enabling teams to understand user experiences in detail without leaving the platform. This real-time traceability is designed to improve incident resolution by swiftly identifying impacted users or sessions and understanding the context of their interactions, thus facilitating quicker debugging and collaboration among teams. Available to all LaunchDarkly Guardian customers, this addition aims to provide a unified view that combines flag evaluations, user sessions, and observability data, enhancing overall visibility and reducing the need for manual log cross-referencing.
