Overall Satisfaction with LaunchDarkly
We use LaunchDarkly as a key part of our shipping & QA process. Let's us ship features behind a feature flag, first roll out internally to employees, then a controlled roll out to a percentage of users, before turning on for all users. Each of the steps only takes a few seconds, without any code changes. Being able to safely roll out features in this way helps us move faster.
- Very customized, detailed flag targeting (e.g. only 10% of users with a given attribute).
- Immediately having flag changes pushed out to clients, rather than polling every few minutes.
- Letting you know when flags are now "stale" and can be removed.
- Dashboard UI could use some improvement, not always obvious which environment you're in.
- Would be nice to have a better high level overview in the dashboard.
- Improved developer experience.
- Reliability
- Developer velocity
