Overall Satisfaction with LaunchDarkly

We predominantly use LaunchDarkly to facilitate our Trunk Based / Continuous Deployment workflow, enabling us to deploy multiple times a day and target specific user segments. We also use it to run UI experiments that help us determine the optimal customer experience.
  • Feature management
  • A/B and multivariate testing
  • Segmentation
  • More support for Edge-side solutions
  • Increase in deployment frequency (multiple per day from each engineer)
  • Decrease in lead times for features
  • Less production bugs
  • Higher conversion rate for landing pages via experimentation
LaunchDarkly provides SDKs for pretty much all programming languages, making it straightforward to implement feature management into our applications. Once that's done, the admin interface is intuitive and easy to use. The segmentation features are incredibly powerful, and we use them to target business users and customers daily.
While we were running POCs for feature management software, the performance was one of the most attractive things about LaunchDarkly. The SDKs provide multiple levels of caching (including in-memory), and flag changes are pushed from LaunchDarkly's servers directly to your application outside of regular requests. The entire experience is blazingly fast and completely non-invasive.
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.

It's hard to imagine building applications without LaunchDarkly - it's become an integral part of our deployment process. The frequency with which we can deliver to production wouldn't be possible without it. I highly recommend LaunchDarkly for any professional engineering team who wants to deploy often and simultaneously minimise risk.
