Feature flags are so so valuable. We use this for internal and private beta releases (we did with our recent launch of Podcasts) and plan to do this when we launch our new frontpage to start getting feedback from the community.
Feature flags are incredibly useful. We've made use of them throughout Trakios product life, particularly to slowly roll out features for testing and iterating on the UI. Great to see all the SDKs open source, we found this a huge help in Trakio too!
Well done on the launch Edith!
@romanzadyrako Hey, I think you should reconsider the approach of asking people to signup and tell them you're not ready. Maybe openly say you're in beta. BTW, nice design and solves a real world problem. Good luck.
Hi, I’m Edith, co-founder of LaunchDarkly! At every company I worked at, I had the same frustrations about running early beta programs and enabling/disabling users for features. We'd end up hacking together some poorly maintained release framework. I was jealous of the big companies like Facebook that could afford to have dozens of engineers to get features to the right users at the right time.
LaunchDarkly allows you to cleanly separate code deployment from rollout. We make it super easy to enable functionality for whoever you want, whenever you want. Would love to hear from anyone who’s felt the same pain!
The biggest thing I missed about going from my last job -> startup was solid infrastructure for doing staged releases and betas. Also, much respect to you guys for having a Twisted SDK!
I'm a big fan of LaunchDarkly and the power it brings to product owners. Only good things to say about it: easy to set up, streamlined UX, useful integration with New Relic, and above all, the ability to roll out features when we feel they're ready based on our initial tests with specific user segments.
