Has increased developer confidence by enabling safe production releases using targeted feature toggles
I wish we were using more targeting in our feature toggles and I wish we were using more feature toggles as well as feature toggle dependencies. Making one feature toggle or one set of feature toggles dependent on another one would allow us to turn them all on or turn them all off at one time. For improvements in LaunchDarkly, managing team members and access to those team members was challenging. We could add team members through Terraform and do it programmatically, and then modify it through the user interface. However, once we started modifying things through the interface, we weren't able to go back to using any configuration programmatically for the team members. It made it challenging to orchestrate team member management. The other aspect I wasn't particularly fond of was when they started adding AI to the interface and deployment interface. It reminded me of old school wizards when installing software and simplified the interface too much, removing some of the engineering control I preferred.

Room for improvement in data handling leads to enhanced cost-effective data management performance
It would be beneficial if MongoDB Atlas could better support OLTP aspects and data frames, as well as enhance its capabilities for data pipelines and visualization dashboards. Furthermore, supporting the medallion architecture could be a valuable addition, and incorporating improved spatial and vector handling for geographical data could make it more competitive. Enhancing vector processing for AI capabilities would also be critical.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I appreciate that we can release any feature in production and maintain control over it."
"These features in my current project have helped my team because they allow us to specifically target users to start turning on functionality, we can monitor the behavior and make sure that it's behaving as expected when the feature toggle is turned on, and then we can increase the usage."
"I like that it offers the ability to control the flags."
"The setup is easy."
"The ability to turn off a flag is crucial when a task is not complete, especially if there is an error in a commit."
"It has really helped during the series of product lines and faster deployment and faster development."
"From the development side, it allows us to manage multiple things."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"MongoDB Atlas is very easy to use and user-friendly, and you get what you're paying for."
"The product allows us to easily set up and store large amounts of unstructured data."
"Being schemaless is what I like best about MongoDB Atlas."
"This solution is very helpful due to its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of MongoDB Atlas is it's seamless when working with a lot of different systems. Additionally, it is able to adjust the data based on the data being received."
"It enables us to get work done quickly and get to our data."
"Our databases used to be in-house. Now, they are in the cloud with MongoDB and everything is much easier."
"I find MongoDB Atlas highly scalable and easy to use, with very good support."
 

Cons

"When the system has an excessive number of feature flags, managing them can become cumbersome."
"Right now, no improvements are needed."
"Managing team members and access to those team members was challenging. We could add team members through Terraform and do it programmatically, and then modify it through the user interface. However, once we started modifying things through the interface, we weren't able to go back to using any configuration programmatically for the team members."
"I strongly believe they need to develop a strategy for handling situations where LaunchDarkly goes down."
"I have used LaunchDarkly for around two and a half years and I haven't faced any issues with it."
"We need experience to use it, and the initial setup can be difficult. Also, sometimes it has breakdowns."
"The feature where one feature flag is dependent on another could be explored more for our usage."
"Fetching information about multiple flags in a single action would be beneficial."
"The installation was straightforward except for the network hardware because it was a little complicated to make the connection with our VPC on AWS."
"The speed when combining two documents is concerning."
"The UI is not currently designed in a manner to make it possible for a non-technical person or a layman to update the database easily."
"If it could be cheaper, that would make us happy."
"The replica side, like the venue, can be improved."
"They could explore ways to facilitate deploying MongoDB containers within the platform."
"It would be better if there were more integration capabilities with other products."
"One improvement that I would like to see is a feature to export changes made in the environment, such as creating a new user."
