Senior Consultant at Morgan Stanley
Data governance has transformed business glossaries and now drives AI-ready insights
I think it's a great platform. Searching can be made a little better. The data marketplace which it provides is also great, but sometimes when we are searching an element and we know we are not sure if we can find it or if we have missed it. Listing data domains in one place for quick visibility will be an add-on. I am not a hardcore coder. For a coder to create workflows and automate the process, I needed to learn Groovy script and create some workflows. In the automation part, I think it can also introduce a low-code, no-code platform where we can connect different connectors and we can quickly create some automated workflows, if at basic level only, because the next big thing is automation and AI. Low-code, no-code platforms are being used by everyone. I think that will be useful. When I look for a data domain, I'm not able to find it very quickly. For a business owner to know data domains and search data domains, it could be made a little easier. Also, the automation part needs improvement. We are only able to enter the data manually or connect to a data source, but now we want to create some workflows as well. That's why I've chosen a rating of eight. Otherwise, it's really great.

Feature flags have transformed our deployments and empower fast, low-risk experimentation
There is definitely a learning curve for new team members when it comes to organizing and cleaning up flags in LaunchDarkly. Once a project scales, managing multiple flags can become cluttered, and performance could degrade if you do not stay on top of deprecating and maintaining the old flags. Having an easier way to do that would be pretty useful.In a microservices world, managing flag state changes and propagation across complex or heavily distributed backend architectures can introduce latency or consistency challenges. While the UI is clean and pretty intuitive, tracking conditional flag modifications across large engineering teams requires more robust historical audit logging.
