Security Incident Monitoring, Mitigation & Metrics Using Feature Flags AWS re:Invent 2022 – PRT326

AWS re:Invent, 2022 — Las Vegas, NV

Modern cloud systems face evolving threats — but real-time feature management gives you new tools to fight back. In this talk, LaunchDarkly and Datadog share how to detect, mitigate, and recover from incidents faster using feature flags to isolate blast radius, test remediations live, and avoid rolling the dice on a full redeploy.

Raising the Bar on Resilience: Designing Systems for Resilience at Scale QCon London 2023

QCon London, March 2023 · London, UK

Failure is predictable. Resilience is intentional. This talk walks through how to isolate failure modes, contain blast radius, and adapt under pressure using feature flags as a core resilience tool. Whether you're scaling fast or navigating a security incident, you'll leave with practical ways to strengthen legacy, brownfield, and greenfield systems alike.

Talking Migration with LaunchDarkly How to Ship Platforms as Features

LaunchDarkly

You already ship new features with LaunchDarkly. But what if the feature is your infrastructure? This hands-on session walks through platform migration as a product feature, from switching databases to rolling out a new API, using feature flags to tame complexity, control blast radius, and ship infrastructure with confidence.
