About this course

Pre-flight Check is a series of resources, recommendations, and trainings to help you support a smooth and efficient LaunchDarkly implementation. You’ll learn about the LaunchDarkly application architecture, the best LaunchDarkly implementation model for your particular architecture, how to use roles to help mitigate risk, understand common LaunchDarkly integrations, and finally how to create a solid feature flag management process to control your software releases.

Platform Readiness

  • Explain project architecture and data hierarchy core concepts
  • Define LaunchDarkly account members
  • Describe built-in roles, custom roles, and permissions and how built-in roles interact with custom roles
  • Create API access tokens
  • Recognize common LaunchDarkly integrations

Application Readiness

  • Confirm you have access to a LaunchDarkly account  setup with projects and environments
  • Determine you have the correct role configured to create your first feature flag
  • Navigate the LaunchDarkly user interface
  • Identify prerequisites to getting started with LaunchDarkly SDKs
  • Determine the best SDK for your use case
  • Describe the key differences between client and server-side SDKs
  • Setup the LaunchDarkly SDK
