    If a new feature should be added but unsure of how it will actually work or how users will accept the new enhancement or change, this tool allows you test and measure initial results. This saves so much time and energy knowing the results before it is deployed and might have low user adoption or acceptance.

    Pros
    Harness

    LaunchDarkly
    • A/B or Multi Variant Testing as a methodology to gather insight from customer usage. Experimentation as a feature within LaunchDarkly offers information around the success of one variant over another and whether the experiment has reached statistical significance.
    • Being able to decouple deployment of code from the release of a feature is hugely valuable.
    • Development teams are empowered to manage features within their production applications for reliability or testing purposes.

    Cons
    Harness

    LaunchDarkly
    • Limited number of users on cheaper plans that is limiting our ability to audit log who is making changes.
    • Some of our engineers are confused between flags and segments and have set up items incorrectly.
    • Better documented support for React with Typescript.

    It's very easy to create new feature flags and set them properly. It is more difficult to get LaunchDarkly integrated within a distributed system so that flags can be used. Especially on stateless servers where gating features by user is not easy. Overall though, it is very easy to get started and I like how simple it is to use.

    From what I have seen, LaunchDarkly integrates well with your code and also services you might have in your tech ecosystem. We use Jenkins for automation and we were able to use it to build pipelines to automate the control of LaunchDarkly toggles in our code.

    LaunchDarkly stood out to us because it put control of the application within the hands of our engineers. We didn't want to allow business users to manipulate the production site via a third-party tool. Instead, our focus was on delivering faster as an engineering team.

    LaunchDarkly
    • Improved developer experience with some teams moving to Trunk-based Development.
    • Increased deployment frequency due to smaller code releases.
    • Validation of the technical and business value of work is achieved more quickly through smaller pieces of work and through experimenting with a small group of users before a feature gets to 100% of customers.

    LaunchDarkly Screenshots

    Screenshot of regression detection and automated incident response at the feature level. This connects critical metrics to the release process so that every change is monitored - even the smallest releases, where issues would previously have been obscured by noise in the wider system metrics.Screenshot of where track the progression of a feature flag across a series of phases, where each phase consists of one or more environments.Screenshot of how to target groups of contexts individually or by attribute. Contexts are people, services, machines, or other resources that encounter feature flags in a product.Screenshot of where to design experiments that measure business-critical user flows and provide results specific to those product funnels, and measure multi-step user journeys. This is used to determine whether conversions are succeeding, with all metrics visible in one place.
