Launched: New Code References Capabilities Make Managing Tech Debt Easier Than Ever

LaunchDarkly has introduced new capabilities to its Code References tool to help developers efficiently track and manage feature flag references in their codebase. The features include Reference Aliases, Branch Filtering, and Last Reference Timestamps. These enhancements aim to improve the management of technical debt with feature flags by making it easier to locate all references to a specific flag, narrow down search for flag reference points, and keep track of whether a flag is active or not. LaunchDarkly also offers other tools like flag dashboard, compare and copy settings between environments, and guided Flag Archive workflow to simplify feature management. Developers can start using Code References by installing the latest version of the tool and checking out the updated documentation on GitHub.
