Overall Satisfaction with LaunchDarkly

LaunchDarkly has been used as the proof of concept to use feature flagging. It has been used in my department for some POC work as currently we use Azure Devops pipeline configuration for feature flags. It solves feature toggling in production to switch on and off features which are not stable or completely finished. It gives full control in deciding what features whether it is backend or frontend to be used in production environment. Further, feature toggling can also be used dynamically to change some features without recompiling the code or reload the page.
  • It delivers 100% uptime for customers.
  • Dynamically control features in real-time.
  • Automate your workflows.
  • LaunchDarkly can probably be integrated with Devops pipelines.
  • LaunchDarkly can provides its own observability features so that it can integrate monitoring and traces in a single unified environment.
  • Number of deployments has been increased.
  • Reduced operational risk.
  • Eliminated risky code & bugs.
  • Running different A/B testing.
Feature toggling is the easiest to use.

Using A/B testing and determining the optimal experience before rolling out across every user is the hardest.
So far LaunchDarkly has been used and integrated well with the development environment and as part of Release and Deployment cycles.
It does not slow down or degrade the performance.
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.
