ControlMonkey now supports LaunchDarkly Disaster Recovery, enabling teams to automatically back up and restore critical LaunchDarkly configurations, including feature flags, segments, and views.
LaunchDarkly controls feature rollout and targeting rules in real time, yet its configuration layer is rarely protected by a resilience solution.
Why do you need a resilience solution for LaunchDarkly?
Feature flag platforms like LaunchDarkly are deeply embedded in your production environment meaning misconfigurations or compromises can have immediate, widespread impact.
Here are some of the key risks teams face:
- Ransomware or account takeover – What happens if your LaunchDarkly account is compromised? An attacker could modify or disable critical flags, impacting availability and user experience.
- Cyber attacks / malicious actors – Unauthorized changes to feature flags can be used to expose functionality, bypass controls, or disrupt your application.
- Human error – Even experienced engineers can make mistakes – accidentally toggling the wrong flag or applying changes to the wrong environment.
- Over-permissive AI agents – With the rise of AI-assisted workflows (e.g., LaunchDarkly MCP server), agents operating with admin-level permissions can unintentionally introduce risky or large-scale changes.
ControlMonkey helps teams safeguard LaunchDarkly by protecting the operational logic that defines how features are released, who sees them, and how changes are rolled out.
Examples of protected LaunchDarkly configurations include:
- Feature flags controlling runtime application behavior
- Targeting rules defining rollout logic and user exposure
- Segments used for user targeting and progressive delivery
- Views organizing feature management workflows
With this capability, teams can:
- Automatically back up LaunchDarkly configurations
- Track changes to feature flags and targeting over time
- Recover quickly from accidental changes or deletions
- Reduce risk across production release processes
- Restore feature flags and targeting logic without manual reconstruction
How LaunchDarkly Disaster Recovery Works
From discovery to recovery, ControlMonkey ensures LaunchDarkly configurations are always backed up, versioned, and ready to restore in minutes. Here is the full process:

Snapshot and Backup
- ControlMonkey continuously captures the state of LaunchDarkly configurations and creates versioned snapshots.
- This provides a reliable historical record of feature flags, segments, and targeting logic across environments.
Recover – Feature Flags, Segments, and Views
- If configurations are deleted or misconfigured, teams can restore them from a known-good snapshot in minutes.
- This eliminates manual rebuilding of feature flags and targeting rules—reducing recovery time and avoiding errors.
Review & Govern
- The ControlMonkey Cloud Resilience Dashboard provides visibility into disaster recovery readiness across infrastructure and SaaS platforms like LaunchDarkly.
- Teams can monitor protection coverage and identify resilience gaps before incidents occur.
Stay Ahead with Darkly Disaster Recovery
Feature management platforms like LaunchDarkly are critical to modern software delivery. Yet while organizations focus on application code and infrastructure, the configuration layer that controls feature rollout and targeting often remains unprotected.
ControlMonkey ensures LaunchDarkly configurations are protected alongside infrastructure and SaaS platforms. By continuously backing up configuration states and enabling rapid restoration, teams can recover quickly from outages, misconfigurations, and unintended changes—and maintain control over production behavior.
