LaunchDarkly makes continuous delivery using flags a breeze
We use LaunchDarkly to decouple Deployment and Release. We can focus on testing with the flag off initially - this should prove that the new code is not being called and existing functionality has not regressed. We can then be confident that master can be deployed to production at any time with the flag off without causing any problems. Once we have tested flag off we can focus on testing flag on to ensure the functionality is working. Once we are happy, we can then release the flag at whatever time suits the team and the business, and it is a non issue as there are no code deployments at release time.
PROSBeing able to easily target individual or groups of users for internal or external testing is very powerful. Being able to quickly change these targeting rules, and the new feature of change requests to allow your change to be reviewed before being applied is great from a process point of view. The insights graph is fantastic at showing the variants that users are receiving and allows you to identify when a flag is ready to be removed.
CONSSome functionality like User Segments is very powerful but only available in the enterprise licence. The change request functionality is only optional at this time and cannot be enforced - ideally we would want changes to rules in production to only be allowed once they have been reviewed.

I like LD but I would like to have it more stable in Production
I like the features, SDK works fine, you bring new feature, good UX
CONSWe get many errors like "[LaunchDarkly] Received error 50x for streaming connection - will retry" in Production Once I sent a message to the customer support and no answer SDK could be better No FedRAMP compliance

Awesome tool to get started with experimentation
We're using LaunchDarkly for experiments and continuous deployments, and it's working great for that.
PROSLaunchdarkly is so easy to learn, and really easy to setup, at least with react and nodeJs. It has helped our development speed by a lot.
CONSNothing to dislike really. Haven't found anything that I'm missing so far. Better integration to Segment would be nice to have.

Reach for the stars with LaunchDarkly
Feature flagging is such a game changer and LaunchDarkly make it so easy. The UI and logic is incredibly easy to navigate and follow. Giving us the ability to test in production is huge and made such a difference to our production development.
CONSThe API's are a little cumbersome to get our head around with the response properties not as clear as they could be. However once you have got your head around the terminology it is all good.

LaunchDarkly
We have been very pleased with LaunchDarkly and besides being able to turn off a feature in a split second, the ease of use to roll out features in multiple ways has provided a lot of value for us.
PROS* Being able to test in production using labels - before go live we can test in production * Being able to turn off a feature in a split second if there are issues. In some cases, we can revert back to an older working version of the feature * Being able to use percentage rollout. * Being able to rollout to certain markets and not all.
CONS* Certain ease of use features for large projects with lots of feature toggles - like bulk copy/delete etc... * Pricing model

A great way to manage the availability of your new features until they are ready for production
Overall LaunchDarkly has been great for our development process. We can now break down new features into smaller tickets and deploy them bit by bit, holding off on production release until the entire feature is ready. In the event of bugs, we can quickly hide a feature until those bugs are addressed.
PROSLaunchDarkly makes it very easy to develop and deploy new features in small steps without worrying about its impact on your production environment. By being able to hide new features behind feature flags, you can employ a Work In Progress development model, allowing you to develop features with a continuous delivery method in mind
CONSIt can be a bit tricky to implement the provider into your React application but once its established, using the LaunchDarkly hook couldn't be simpler

LaunchDarkly Overall Usage review
Overall, has been a great experience working with LaunchDarkly and making use of Feature flags was never this easy.
PROSEase of Use, excellent documentation, toggle of feature flags and API calls are way simplified than other tools can offer. And the support team was exceptionally helpful when needed.
CONSRoles assignments could have been a little more fine grained.

Great for launching beta features
Great for rolling out features slowly for beta testing in production.
CONSThe pricing is expensive to get enough users to make auditing sensible. Thats fine while we are developing but once we fully go to production we will need to pay a lot more money to get value from it.
Reason for choosing LaunchDarkly
Ease of use. Our in-house feature flags were old and very awkward to use.

Simple feature-flag management
Its’s easy to manage feature flags across multiple application environments, from development to production.
