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.

Managed vector search has reduced infrastructure overhead and empowers faster AI workloads
Zilliz Cloud has allowed us to focus on building the AI products without the overhead of operating vector database infrastructure. The best features Zilliz Cloud offers, in my opinion, include high-performance similarity search, managed infrastructure for cluster maintaining, infrastructure scaling, backup management, storage planning, Milvus compatibility, and metadata filtering. The offering of this managed infrastructure of a vector database is most useful for me, and the high-performance similarity search is useful in my case. Regarding the similarity search, it delivers low latency retrieval and maintains strong relevance in returned units, which is particularly useful for me. Zilliz Cloud has positively impacted my organization because initially, we spent too much time hosting self-hosted Milvus and planning for infrastructure that did not yield very useful results. Now, we do not have the overhead of managing infrastructure for my vector database, so we can directly focus on building our RAG system and AI workload. Time saved is the first and foremost outcome since all the time we invested in self-hosting Milvus has been redirected towards building the AI workloads. Time has definitely been saved, which is the primary benefit of using Zilliz Cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to turn off a flag is crucial when a task is not complete, especially if there is an error in a commit."
"The best feature LaunchDarkly offers is the capability of having a feature flag that we don't have to build in-house."
"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 setup is easy."
"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."
"It has really helped during the series of product lines and faster deployment and faster development."
"The best feature of Zilliz Cloud is that it helps in very high-performance vector search, and it is also very scalable, with very low latency that helps provide faster results."
"Zilliz Cloud has allowed us to focus on building the AI products without the overhead of operating vector database infrastructure."
 

Cons

"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."
"When the system has an excessive number of feature flags, managing them can become cumbersome."
"I think LaunchDarkly's customer support can be improved as it is not responsive."
"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."
"The feature where one feature flag is dependent on another could be explored more for our usage."
"Right now, no improvements are needed."
"I strongly believe they need to develop a strategy for handling situations where LaunchDarkly goes down."
"It can be improved a little bit on the search functionality."
