  1. monitoring Aug 26, 2026, 07:45 PM UTC

    Server-side streaming requests experienced elevated error rates between approximately 12:00 p.m. and 12:12 p.m. PDT, and some SDKs establishing new streaming connections may have been unable to connect. Polling request error rates remained below 1% throughout the incident. No customer data was lost or compromised. We apologize for the disruption.

  2. resolved Aug 26, 2026, 08:00 PM UTC

    This incident has been resolved. Between 12:00 and 12:12 PM PDT on August 26, server-side SDKs establishing new streaming connections experienced elevated error rates. Existing streaming connections were not affected, and polling requests continued to be served with error rates below 1%. The issue was caused by an internal configuration change, which has been reverted. All systems have recovered and are operating normally. No customer data was lost or compromised.

  1. identified Aug 24, 2026, 12:20 PM UTC

    Emails sent by LaunchDarkly — including sign-up verification, password reset, teammate invitation, and workflow notification emails — are currently failing to deliver due to an authentication issue with an upstream email delivery provider. We have identified the cause and are working to restore delivery. Feature flag delivery, SDKs, and the LaunchDarkly application itself are not affected. If you are trying to complete sign-up or reset a password, those emails will not arrive until this is resolved. Once delivery is restored, we will re-send affected verification and password reset emails. Next update within 2 hours.

  2. resolved Aug 24, 2026, 01:36 PM UTC

    Email delivery has been restored as of 2:32 PM UTC. Sign-up verification, password reset, teammate invitation, and notification emails are sending normally again. We are re-sending sign-up verification and password reset emails that failed to deliver during the incident window (August 22, 11:48 PM CDT through today). If you attempted to sign up or reset a password during that period and haven't received an email within the next few hours, please retry the action or contact support. We are continuing to monitor email delivery closely and will post a final update once we've confirmed sustained recovery.

  1. investigating Jul 10, 2026, 05:10 PM UTC

    The LaunchDarkly web application (app.launchdarkly.com) was unavailable and is actively recovering at the moment. The Flag Delivery network was also impacted, causing an elevated failure rate with retrieving flag values. Customers using client-side or server-side SDKs should continue to see the last known flag values if a local cache exists, or fall back to in-code values. Customers using our Relay Proxy should continue to see last known flag values if a local cache exists. Customers using our Edge SDKs should continue to see last known flag values. Some event data loss may have occurred.

    We have identified the root cause and are implementing a fix.

  3. identified Jul 10, 2026, 05:40 PM UTC

    The web application availability has recovered. Flag delivery and event ingestion continue to be impacted and are actively recovering. Our engineering team continues to work on remediation.

  4. monitoring Jul 10, 2026, 05:54 PM UTC

    Production service impact has been restored. However, customers might need to restart their applications to fully reconnect to LaunchDarkly's services. Our engineering team is working on guidance that can be provided to customers.

  5. resolved Jul 10, 2026, 06:19 PM UTC

    All service availability has been fully restored. Customers using server-side SDKs might need to restart their applications to re-enable the SDKs' connection to LaunchDarkly. Customers using the Relay Proxy may also need to restart their Relay Proxy; in this case, the Relay Proxy should be restarted before restarting their applications that connect to it. To determine if an application needs to be restarted, customers can look at their application logs. Affected SDKs will emit (depending on language) logs containing one of "giving up permanently", "Invalid SDK key", "unauthorized", or "not authorized", or "401". Services which emitted logs such as these before 9:13AM PT may be unable to receive flag updates and will be unable to send events to LaunchDarkly until they are restarted.
