Last update from LaunchDarkly

A scaling inflection point in our realtime event warehouse led to a delay for some event ingestion. The engineering team has remediated the problem and all events should be caught up. Some customers may have seen delays in experiments and in guarded release processing. This is now resolved and the team will carefully monitor.
