If you can afford it, go for LaunchDarkly. It's a great tool. I really enjoy using it. I wish there was a lower tier for startups and small companies. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LaunchDarkly an 8.
You can manage through the reach of flags for different credential regions. You can turn on or off features for different environments. This is pretty useful. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
It allowed us to deploy faster. Despite having a rigorous code review process that slowed things down, once the code was reviewed, LaunchDarkly enabled safe deployments. If there was ever an issue, we could easily roll back a particular release by simply turning off the feature flag. When configuring and setting this up, begin with feature sets that are relatively small in scope. This helps build the necessary skills to leverage the product effectively while maintaining control over the blast radius, thus reducing risk to your customers and application in case of misconfiguration. As you gain more experience with the solution, it's crucial to have a process to manage feature flag sprawl, as mentioned earlier. Implementing a life cycle management system for your feature flags is essential. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten because of its intuitiveness and ease of use.
Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten because it has a lot of improvements yet required. I would recommend it until, like, there are a lot of things available in the market. It's company to company how they want to implement it. LaunchDarkly is a great tool. But consider whatever service you need to make sure your system is scalable, multi-region, multi-area. Those things are very important whenever a company tries to onboard any new external services.
