Chose LaunchDarkly
Have used a custom feature flag application created inhouse. All the basic functionality was same as the ones that LaunchDarkly provides. But as time progressed, it required more and more tracking capabilities like which user has turned on/off a feature flag, what are the …
We were considering changing to Flagsmith as they presented us with a way cheaper quote than LaunchDarkly. We ended up not doing so as the cost of migrating would be quite high.
LaunchDarkly stood out to us because it put control of the application within the hands of our engineers. We didn't want to allow business users to manipulate the production site via a third-party tool. Instead, our focus was on delivering faster as an engineering team.
All the above products more or less suffice the requirement. But in terms of usage as a common integrated platform , the experience [is] quite great. Further performance and product support are also quite good.
Rollout is another dedicated feature flag tool that can be used to manage features. LaunchDarkley offers all the features of an enterprise level tool, unlike Rollout, reserves the security features for the Enterprise plan. Out of box integrations are limited but they do have a …
Previously we had a homegrown solution to manage our feature flags. It was extremely old, not maintained, difficult to implement for the engineer and had limited applicability as it could only be used in back-end systems as well as having no auditing for changes made by users. La…
We didn't end up trying any other alternatives as LaunchDarkly has a very good reputation for being one of the best feature flag services to use and was what my company went with right from the get go.
We needed a highly supported solution that we could easily make available for all of our teams. LaunchDarkly came out the best in all of our requirements.
If a new feature should be added but unsure of how it will actually work or how users will accept the new enhancement or change, this tool allows you test and measure initial results. This saves so much time and energy knowing the results before it is deployed and might have low user adoption or acceptance.
A/B or Multi Variant Testing as a methodology to gather insight from customer usage. Experimentation as a feature within LaunchDarkly offers information around the success of one variant over another and whether the experiment has reached statistical significance.
Being able to decouple deployment of code from the release of a feature is hugely valuable.
Development teams are empowered to manage features within their production applications for reliability or testing purposes.
It's very easy to create new feature flags and set them properly. It is more difficult to get LaunchDarkly integrated within a distributed system so that flags can be used. Especially on stateless servers where gating features by user is not easy. Overall though, it is very easy to get started and I like how simple it is to use.
From what I have seen, LaunchDarkly integrates well with your code and also services you might have in your tech ecosystem. We use Jenkins for automation and we were able to use it to build pipelines to automate the control of LaunchDarkly toggles in our code.
Have used a custom feature flag application created inhouse. All the basic functionality was same as the ones that LaunchDarkly provides. But as time progressed, it required more and more tracking capabilities like which user has turned on/off a feature flag, what are the statuses of different feature flags that are being used across the application etc., So, all and all maintenance of such tracking has become cumbersome.
Improved developer experience with some teams moving to Trunk-based Development.
Increased deployment frequency due to smaller code releases.
Validation of the technical and business value of work is achieved more quickly through smaller pieces of work and through experimenting with a small group of users before a feature gets to 100% of customers.
