## About the integration ![](https://2832637360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1bR_-Od0islbiOl4G0%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-52fb0f516291d5750df9844cfb7f7ae51bf51d1c%2FLaunchDarkly_RGB_Mark%20Black.png?alt=media)

Feature flags are an integral part of agile software development, and an important variable in deploying a successful CI/CD pipeline. Making high-impact changes with minimal risk and maximum control of your applications helps deliver quality software to your customers.

The Sleuth LaunchDarkly integration provides a powerful way to track how your feature flags affect the quality of your deploys over time. The LaunchDarkly integration enables Sleuth to track changes made via your LaunchDarkly features flags.
