Staff Software Engineer at a wholesaler/distributor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From the development side, it allows us to manage multiple things."
"I like that it offers the ability to control the flags."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The setup is easy."
"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."
"The best feature LaunchDarkly offers is the capability of having a feature flag that we don't have to build in-house."
"LaunchDarkly has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to confidently ship products across different environments, knowing we can easily turn off any feature that faces issues."
"Instead of spending time designing architecture, wiring up memory, guardrails, and tool integrations, I was able to establish an AI foundation in a matter of hours."
"This is an extremely easy way to start with an AI agent that includes components necessary for production-ready use."
 

Cons

"I did not particularly like the rule area; there are many things to add into the rule to enable it, and I think we could make it easier or more customizable at the organizational level."
"I think LaunchDarkly's customer support can be improved as it is not responsive."
"LaunchDarkly can be improved by managing old flags. We have an issue with old flags; it became very messy very fast and we need to be very disciplined about managing these flags."
"The feature where one feature flag is dependent on another could be explored more for our usage."
"I strongly believe they need to develop a strategy for handling situations where LaunchDarkly goes down."
"We need experience to use it, and the initial setup can be difficult. Also, sometimes it has breakdowns."
"When the system has an excessive number of feature flags, managing them can become cumbersome."
"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."
"Additional frameworks would be good to add."
"It would be nice to be able to run the CloudFormation stacks in other AWS regions."
