Case Study: Paramount improves developer productivity 100X with LaunchDarkly

Paramount Improves Developer Productivity 100X With LaunchDarkly

Paramount, the global media company behind brands like CBS, Paramount+, MTV, and Nickelodeon, was struggling with slow, risky software releases across its Content Engineering team. With deployments tied directly to releases, 11 engineering teams had to coordinate a stressful biweekly release process, and bugs could take up to a week to fix. Paramount turned to LaunchDarkly feature management to add more control and reduce the bottlenecks.

LaunchDarkly helped Paramount separate deployment from release, enabling safer on-demand launches and faster hotfixes. As a result, Paramount increased release frequency from twice a month to 6–7 times a day and cut bug-fix time from up to a week to a single day, delivering a 100x boost in developer productivity.
