 ## About the LaunchDarkly Relay Proxy
 
 The LaunchDarkly Relay Proxy establishes a connection to the LaunchDarkly streaming API, then proxies that stream connection to multiple clients. It lets a number of servers connect to a local stream instead of making a large number of outbound connections to `stream.launchdarkly.com`.
