Update timeline

  1. investigating May 04, 2026, 12:28 PM UTC

    We are investigating elevated error rates for streaming initialization in the Europe region. Some customers using streaming server-side SDKs may have experienced longer than normal initialization times or timeouts when connecting to LaunchDarkly.

  2. identified May 04, 2026, 12:51 PM UTC

    We're identified an infrastructure issue causing elevated error rates and are working on a fix.

  3. identified May 04, 2026, 02:30 PM UTC

    We're continuing to address the root cause of the elevated error rate. Server SDKs may require additional time to initialize while requests are retried.

  4. monitoring May 04, 2026, 03:47 PM UTC

    We've implemented a fix and have mitigated impact as of 8:35am PT. Streaming SDKs should be able to connect successfully at this time.
