LaunchDarkly in Practice: Safe Rollouts, Gradual Delivery, and Real Trade-offs
What do you like best about the product?
Feature flag management is essential for enabling gradual rollouts, allowing teams to test new features in production environments safely. This approach also makes it easier to segment users, so specific groups can experience updates before a full release. By using these strategies, I can control who sees new features and monitor their impact, which helps ensure a smoother deployment process.
What do you dislike about the product?
When considering cost and value for smaller teams, it's important to note that the pricing can increase significantly as more feature flags are added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Risky Releases and Rollbacks
Reliable Tool for Managing Feature Flags
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly makes it simple for us to enable or disable features as needed. The platform is reliable, easy to use, and helps us manage feature flags without adding complexity to our workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing major. We mainly use it for feature flags, and it does that reliably.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us manage feature flags, allowing us to enable or disable features quickly without needing a new deployment. This gives our team more control, reduces risk during releases, and makes it easier to roll out changes safely and efficiently.
Launchdarkly is a game changer for feature management
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to easily and securely enable or disable features, as well as collect data, has been very valuable. I have also found the integration with GitHub and Datadog to be excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
The current tooling functions well, but I find that it needs more integration with GitHub. I would also appreciate greater visibility on flags and a smoother connection with the main application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly be able to turn and off feature flags and even schedule those changes to avoid late night releases.
A very powerful feature flags management system, might be the most powerful and reliable one.
What do you like best about the product?
It broadcasts the changes to multiple running pods if the pods are subscribed to the LaunchDarkly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The flag configuration types are limited. It don't have complex data types.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides us the ability to release new software features safely, and it is easy to turn on/off the feature without rollback the whole thing if anything unexpected happens.
Excellent Flag manager
What do you like best about the product?
The software is easy to use, offering quick and efficient flag management along with effective context tracking. SDK is fairly easy to integrate as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no complaints so far; using this has been straightforward and it meets my expectations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, the main benefit is how it handles feature management and keeps track of context.
Seamless Feature Rollouts and Reliable AB Testing
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how easy it is to add and create feature flags and segments, which simplifies my development process in our app. The ability to instantly switch feature flags on and off is immensely useful, as it allows me to manage features in both the front-end and back-end effortlessly. Furthermore, LaunchDarkly's feature for partial rollouts enables controlled testing, letting us test with a small user base and quickly roll back if needed, enhancing stability as we scale. We've used the rollback functionality of LaunchDarkly many times in production and it has saved us (and our users) a lot of headache.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have a lot of old flags lying around. Either rollouts that have been completed, or A/B tests that we decided to scrap. I find it pretty hard to navigate what flags are no longer useful, and removing these takes substantial effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find LaunchDarkly solves feature deployment issues, allowing controlled rollouts and quick reversals. It aids in AB testing, ensuring we enhance user experience with precise targeting. The fast toggling of features significantly improves our development workflow.
Great experience!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. User experience is very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Happy to use myself and with my team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NA
Launch it with an On/Off
What do you like best about the product?
The ease to put the code behind the toggle and enable/disable it as we require for different services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Feature wise I don't think of any downsides but business wise, it is a bit on the costlier side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When working a new feature, it easier to put that new feature behind a toggle and prevent that impacting the current code and easily deploy it when we feel like it.
Launchdarkly is a great tool
What do you like best about the product?
LaunchDarkly provides a feature to create project IDs and map feature flags to them. You can define feature flags across different environments (e.g., dev, int, prod) and utilize them within your project as needed.
This setup allows for flexible control over feature rollout and environment-specific behavior, making it easier to manage releases and test features safely.

Managing features with the help of feature flags in launch darkly
LaunchDarkly facilitating Agile development
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about LaunchDarkly is how easy it makes the feature flagging and gradual rollouts of features. It allows my team to work on multiple different features at the same time without worrying about risky deployments to production. I can push a new feature behind a flag and keep it OFF until the feature is ready to go live. I also liked how easy it was to integrate it with our existing codebase and tech stack. Really a game changer
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the main drawback which our team felt was the pricing plans. It felt a bit high especially considering for smaller teams. Also, sometimes the UI can be a bit confusing when handling a large number of flags in various different environment. It took a bit of time to get used to. But once we were familiar with it, it works well!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly helps us stay agile and manage continuous releases. My team can work on multiple features at the same time without worrying about breaking the production, since every new feature sits safely behind a feature flag that’s turned OFF by default. This means we can merge code early and keep the main branch stable, while the development goes on for the feature. It also allows our QA team to handle automation scenarios. We can automate test suites for different features based on different sets of feature flag, this helps us in testing agile workflows. Overall, it reduces the deployment risks while helping us in our development cycle and increasing confidence in every production release.
