About us
This is a community for DFW developers, platform engineers, SREs, and engineering leaders who care about shipping fast without breaking things.
We meet in person around Dallas and Plano for talks, demos, and relaxed evenings with other builders. Topics include feature flags and progressive delivery, safe releases, observability, AI in the software development lifecycle, and the guardrails that keep a productive software factory running.
You don't need to be a LaunchDarkly customer to join. If you build, ship, or run software, you'll fit right in.
What to expect
Short lightning talks from local engineers and the LaunchDarkly team
Hands-on demos and real-world release stories
Food, drinks, and time to meet other builders
Interested in speaking or hosting? Send us a message, because we're always looking for local voices.
Hosted by LaunchDarkly, the platform teams use to release, monitor, and control software in production.

Building the factory is the easy part. Keeping it productive once real users and real agents hit it is where most teams stall. This LaunchDarkly Dallas Builder After Hours is on the guardrails around models, tools, releases, and rollbacks — a lightning talk, a 30-minute LaunchDarkly session with a live demo, then networking with other builders in the room.Register via luma https://luma.com/xzf3o4e8
